ComfortClient

[juwi_uk]

This thread is for the 3.1.2.x maintenance release I\'m working on now.

Currently this includes:
* Bug fixes & tweaks; you can never have too many fixes!
* Windows autoscan
* Jump to Window based on condition
* ...other stuff I\'m working on which I\'ll post nearer to release date.

Drop me a PM if you are interested in me adding anything else.

Also, the next release will be the first where the installer, application and my developed DLL\'s will all be Microsoft authenticode digitally signed. This will ensure that any code cannot be modified once I have signed it, so its protection for you and also me too. Given it\'s a security focussed application then I want to be 100% sure that my code is safe from hacks etc.

It\'ll look like below when you install or check exe or dlls that makeup the ComfortClient.

Regards

Julian
