Message: In our ongoing effort to continuously improve our products, Newforma has developed an update of Newforma Project Center® Fifth Edition that addresses a number of defects that have been reported since commercial release of the product in May, 2008. Most of these defects are very obscure and only affect a very limited number of customers, but a few will be of interest to all Newforma Project Center customers. The defect fixes included in this update that may be of broad interest include fixes to: • Prevent or reduce the impact of network time synchronization errors on replication of data between the Newforma Project Center and Newforma Info Exchange Servers • Allow commas in the names of projects and project folders • Reduce or eliminate spurious email notifications of failure of the project email service • Correct an issue where Include / Exclude filters on document set folders do not properly apply wildcard characters • Prevent an application crash associated with very long names use If you are experiencing any of the issues listed above, you may choose to deploy this Hotfix. To gain access to the Hotfix1 transmittal on the Newforma Info Exchange site, please make a request to . We’ll provide you access ASAP to the executables and documentation to allow you to take advantage of these improvements. If you would like Newforma’s assistance in deploying the Hotfix for you, please contact with a request to update your system Notes: 1. All servers deployed after August 5, 2008 were deployed with the Hotfix1 executables. 2. Although the term “Hotfix” is used, a full uninstall and reinstall of the Project Center Server(s) and Info Exchange Server(s) is required. In our experience each server can be uninstalled and reinstalled in under 15 minutes. 3. It is strongly recommended that the clients be updated to the Hotfix build as soon as possible after the servers are updated. Clients can be installed over existing clients (no uninstall is required). 4. Projects do not require any attention during the update process. 5. The search index is not affected by the update. 6. There is currently no schedule in place for any “Hotfix2” to be released during the Fifth Edition release cycle. http://www.newformant.com/index.php/103/
