Changes in Version 1.6

New Features

• Extended LDAP functionality including multiple domain definition, support for Security and Distribution groups, domain authentication and monitoring of groups to automatically add/remove users
• Reworked user connection model for better performance and more stability
• Reworked statistics area
• Reload Server Sources can now be activated via keyboard shortcut (Mac only)
• Added an option to the Server Set context menu to "Remove Server Set and Contained Fonts".
• Added a context menu to the Groups panel with options to Add a Group, Remove a Group, Remove a Group and Users and Duplicate a Group
• View the comments assigned to server sets and server folders via the properties dialog by simply holding the mouse pointer on the item (Mac only)
• Server backups can now be deleted via the Backups panel
• Administrator can now block clients from upgrading their client software. This can be assigned globally, by group or by user
• Administrator can now block Mac clients from importing fonts via the finder to their user font folder (~/Library/Fonts). This can be assigned globally, by group or by user
• Server administrators can now export their server font library directly from the FontExplorer X Server panel
• Added a users tab to the server preference pane with options for disconnecting all or selected users.

Resolved

• When dragging a local smart set to the server with FontExplorer X Pro for Mac it no longer produces an empty server folder. The content of the smart set is now correctly converted to a server set.
• Fonts files exported by FontExplorer X Pro for Mac from the FontExplorer X server library or a server set are no longer flagged invisible.
• LDAP connections closed when leaving LDAP Import area. Connection used to remain open across sessions unless explicitly closed.
• LDAP import limitation of 1,000 users per group has been corrected.
• Username is no longer case sensitive.
• Improved performance during the login process with FontExplorer X Pro for Mac (memory problems resolved)

Changed

Server name changes are now made directly in the Server Pref pane under "General". It is therefore no longer possible to change a server name via the Summary & Login panel on the FontExplorer X client
