Thin Client Change Log

 

5.3.33
——
Set AuthString=somestring in [ServerConfig] on both server and client to check for authorized client connection
get-font-def and get-color-def must get data from client
Show NoPersistentConnect recv error code
Retrieve IPV4 address properly
Source=ONDEMANDNOSAVE
– works the same as ONDEMAND except that panels are never saved on the client
– good for any fast internet connection
DefaultTitle= in [LoginDialog] sets title for message boxes displayed if no log file
activate-window returns ret-code

5.3.2
—–
Service not setting SP2TCNAM environment variable pointing to renamed ini file

5.3.1
—–
Binaries still showing old version numbers

5.3.0
—–
TCP/IP V6 support
– set UseIPV6=TRUE in [ServerConfig] on server and client
– if UseIPV6=TRUE set on server but not on client this will work on Vista and later (2 server/ports needed pre-Vista)
– IPV6 address should be enclosed in [] for ProxyServer entry if http tunnelling is being used

5.2.67
——
Ignore DestinationDir if path included in file to be copied to/from client
If DestinationDir specified a path should be specified for LogFileName

5.2.66
——
Return 2 if file exists but cannot be accessed from copy-file-to-server
Disallow sp2tccli AVC if DestinationDir set (unless it’s set to “.”)

5.2.65

5.2.60
——
Environment variables (%var%) may be included in DestinationDir and LogFileName to direct files to a non-protected system folder
eg. DestinationDir=%LOCALAPPDATA%\sp2tc
This folder will be added to the PATH so that dll’s, panel files, etc. will be located properly
Set CopyToDestinationDir=TRUE to target DestinationDir with copy-file-to-client, etc.

5.2.54
——
Problem with printserver changes in unix/vms

5.2.53
——

Printserver changes
——————-
Use this to specify a printserver in server sp2tc.ini rather than an environment variable:
[ServerConfig]
PrintServerIP=127.0.0.1
PrintServerPort=5001
This allows regular clients and a separate printserver to be used in the same program.  If this is the case make sure SP2 is called before QPR in the program.
