New Features

• The interface of the System Preference Pane has been optimized.
• Now it is possible to create Master/Slave configurations to balance the server load on several machines. Those servers can replicate by schedule. Please find more information about this in the Administrator Manual.
• The connection to an LDAP server has been improved by adding a direct authentication against the LDAP server. All users known to the LDAP can now login to the FontExplorer X Server with their standard domain password.
• The administrator now can hide the Local Library and local sets  for FontExplorer X Pro client users.
• The administrator now can disable the font import into the Local Library  for FontExplorer X Pro client users.
• Administrators now can make a set of fonts mandatory for download and/or activation for every user by activating this option in the server set property dialog.
• The integrated Backup function now has a scheduler.
• The target directory for the integrated Backup now can be set by the administrator.

 
Resolved

• Server fonts would become disabled and could not be reenabled after fast user switching or use of "refresh fonts" function.

 
Improvements

• Improved handling in Account Management to permit deleting users or groups via the backspace or delete key.

 
Known Issues

• Mac OS X 10.6 – Activating and deactivating fonts is somewhat slower than under Mac OS X 10.5. This can have an influence on logout time when many fonts are activated. An upcoming release of Mac OS X may resolve this.
• Font Classification cannot be applied to server fonts.
• Server fonts activated via plugin request will not be automatically deactivated when the requesting application quits even though the option is selected in the plug-in manager.

 
Other Changes

• This release contains an updated "Software License Agreement". The limitation to use only one instance of the server has been removed, as this no longer coincides with the new "Master/Slave" feature.
