February 9, 2020Important quality improvements for REV11 licensing
A new patch release for Windows and Unix is now available to download on the Synergex website. All customers are encouraged to update to 11.1.1c for important quality improvements.
This update includes new versions of the following products:
- Synergy/DE (32- and 64-bit)
- REV11 licensing upgrade package (32- and 64-bit, delivered in one installer on Windows)
- Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio
-
IMPORTANT: Previously, in REV11 licensing environments, an expired license error could occur if a license allocated by a program expired while the program was running. Even if new keys had been delivered and installed, if the license server had not been restarted since the new keys were installed, the error could occur.
It is important that all customers using subscription licensing in a REV11 environment install the 11.1.1c patch (for version 11 systems) or apply the 11.1.1c version of the licensing upgrade package (for version 9 or 10 systems).
If for any reason you are not able to do so, you should ensure that your license server is restarted as soon as possible after your new subscription keys are delivered. Long-running processes are resilient to a license server restart.
- In versions 11.1.1a and 11.1.1b, if an attempt to rename a remote file (via xfServer) resulted in an error being generated, in some cases xfServer could fail with a segmentation fault.
- In versions 11.1.1 through 11.1.1b, using the isutl utility to re-index a large multi-key ISAM file with an index exceeding 4,294,967,295 bytes caused a corrupted index to be created.
- In versions 11.1.1 through 11.1.1b, when running xfServer in Secure or Trusted mode, a client using the RUSER mechanism to provide login credentials to the server experienced a “Bad username, login rejected” error.
- In versions 11.1.1 through 11.1.1b, in some circumstances when opening a remote file via xfServer when that server did not already have other files open, the xfServer process could fail.

We significantly enhanced the Visual Studio build system for Synergy .NET projects by improving the dependency-checking algorithms. Previously, any change in the code of, for example, a class library caused all projects that reference that library to be rebuilt. With these changes in place, dependent projects will only be rebuilt if changes in the dependency library result in the signatures of externally visible items being added, changed, or removed. This will result in a significant reduction in elapsed build times in many cases.

We improved the hover-over information (QuickInfo) displayed for type declarations for variables, fields, properties, etc. We added simple colorization and documentation comments (when available), and in some cases, type names are now fully qualified.
