• License information can now be read from a static setup file without the need for online verification. To utilize this feature please contact The ABC Softwork Support Dep. for assistance.

• An issue where the output of the FileDate()-function would output the wrong date when using templates.

• When making a custom categorization setup the “OK” button will trigger the action to make a new categorization.
• The data view window from clicking items in the graph views are now in the front by default.
• Making click reports from the Graph and Movements views now function properly.

We are currently experiencing some errors in certain web browsers affecting our update process. If you keep getting the update available notice you are probably affected too.

Tests show that some browsers re-download a cached installer instead of downloading the right installation file redirected by the static always-newest-URL. This behaviour occurs even though we’ve specifically ordered no caching of the web page in question. Even deleting the previous version from the web server didn’t resolve the issue.

The only thing that seems to work properly is clearing the cache of the web browser before accepting to download the new version of ABC Analyzer. Please contact your IT dept. for information on how to achieve this on your setup.

On June 18th ABC Analyzer 4.2.3 was released. This is a minor release that fixes some issues that have occurred in the software – including but not limited to:

• Issue where creating click reports from the overview would result in the software shutting down without any prior warning.
• Issue where predefined settings loaded on program start or through a project file or template would make selections in the cross table causing invalid cross table computation and software shutdown.
• It is now possible to open a template by double clicking it.
• An issue causing the error reporting function to malfunction in most setups has been resolved. Issues can now be reported and software errors should be properly caught be the reporting service.
