GTViewer Data Server version 6.0.0.2 (second beta) is Available

 

GTViewer Data Server version 6.0.0.2 (beta) is Available for testing.

What's New in the 2nd Beta:

  •  Support for User Registration where the server can collect information from a user (like name, email, phone) and associate it with the license (or Device Id).  It is optional and the information it collects is configurable.
  • Upgrades to the Activity Log which include the Device Id and an additional description field.
  • Updates to GTViewer Data Client to support User Registration as well as some interface improvements.
  • A new file transfer method for downloading project files to make fewer requests and provide a slight performance improvement.
  • Support for Custom User Managers.   A custom assembly can now be included with the product to perform user authentication however you want.  There are some limits here, but it opens up a new way to implement your own authentication process.
