SOUL 4.5 – CONNECT THE SOUL MOBILE APP, WINDOWS & WEBDAV + BUGFIXES

SOUL 2.9

09.03.2017

Group dashboards, Widgets – (stable/77-80) – 16.10.2015

Before the update it is essential to observe the following:

SOUL 2.9 changes the start page of each group irrevocably – the 3 latest topics, tasks, … are no longer displayed there. Instead, as explained in more detail below, our new widgets are shown. Widgets for “the last 3 most recent” are however only planned for one of the next updates.

 

 Group dashboards & Widgets*

*Widgets are additional components within a software, that enable a user to perform a function or access a service.

OurVideo With a brief explanation of the widgets:SOUL 2.9: Adding Widgets, how it’s done.

You could integrate this video directly by widget on the group´s homepage to show the users of your Protonetbox the new functions 😉

Many optimizations for the daily use, for example:

Troubleshooting & Improvements

  • Guests with a group ownership can now also change the name of the group and delete messages
  • Event reminders are not sent to deactivated users anymore
  • Playing video is more stable (most .mov videos now have sound) and supports more video formats. Some browsers are more tolerant (e.g., Chrome) than others (e.g., Internet Explorer)

Optimizations SOUL 2.9.1

  • Solution of an update problem that occurred under rare circumstances
  • Location share in the Messenger generate push notifications again
  • Private Chats aktualisieren sich wieder kontinuierlich

Optimizations SOUL 2.9.2

  • Optimized reboot process
  • Live update of widgets has been optimized
  • Office documents with underline in the name are now accepted via WebDAV connection.
  • User authorizations of topics are now visible also to guests again

SOUL 2.9.3

  • Architectural adjustments in SOUL 2.9 led to an error that files placed on the box and shared in chats could no longer be found.

    The affected files have now been restored to their original topmost file folder under “Restored”. The exact file path – if a file was in a subfolder – unfortunately could not be restored.

  • Via WebDAV, directories can be easily deleted again

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the update. As a consequence, we have implemented several new features and optimizations internally:

– The test system for the update of especially old SOUL versions has been revised.

– The update process has been completely renewed

  1. Eventual crashes (power failure, internet connection failure) during the update process are now even better counteracted, so that boxes can no longer start with incorrect version states.
  2. Connection problems during the update process are prevented more effectively
  3. An additional update server has been deployed to provide better availability.
