October 2013
As well as an assortment of regressions, this update fixes stability problems being experienced by users on Windows XP that appear to have resulted from our switch to a new development environment on Windows for v7. Our thanks to the affected customers for their help in tracking down these issues.
- Fixed a potential crash on Windows XP when opening certain windows such as Batch Receipts
- Fixed a potential crash on Windows XP when saving records to the databse (this could lock the database for other users)
- Fixed a very rare potential crash on Windows when closing some windows

- Datacentre: Connections by a full Gold licence will no longer be counted towards the total concurrent connections (regression in v7)
- Datacentre remote save now requires confirmation
- Mac: clicking Help button in alert (where present) could cause a crash
- Fixed a crash on Windows caused by clicking window close box while tracking a popup menu
- Changed icon highlighting strategy on Windows to avoid having the OS make resource pages writeable via an exception
