PaperCut 7.2 (Build 4733)

This release contains the following changes:

• Added the ability to schedule reports. This feature allows reports to be automatically generated and emailed to a list of recipients. More information is available in the user manual.
• The report naming scheme has been revised to ensure they are consistent and give a good idea as to what they will look like.
• Modified the zero-install method of the user client tool and standalone release station. They now locally cache the application data, only updating it when required. As before this ensures that the software is always up to date, but now also keeps bandwidth use to a minimum (like a local installation). Sites already using the zero-install method should consider reviewing login scripts to make use of the new caching features.
• Added the ability to automatically purge old log data. On large sites with high traffic usage, the database can become large. In cases where old log data is not required, it can now be automatically deleted.
• Added a new method to launch the user client on Mac systems (via a login hook, but doesn’t restart when quit).
• Added new server-command and web services calls: use-card (to use a pre-paid / top-up card), adjust-user-account-balance-by-group-up-to (adjust the account balance for all users in a group, but only up to a certain limit).
• Added a bulk user operation for adjusting balance but not beyond a set limit.
• Added web services example code for Ruby, and updated the examples and documentation for the other examples.
• Added some visual effects in the web interface.
• Streamlined install process of user client on non-domain networks. The client will now confirm your network identity after a local install. This makes setups easier in environments where users log in with a username different to their network identity.
• Fixed issue where running certain ad-hoc reports directly after running another ad-hoc report would result in the settings for the previous report to be displayed.
• Prevented some system accounts from MS Exchange Server being imported into PaperCut as user accounts.
• Updated translations for Chinese, Portuguese and Spanish.
• Changes specific to the print control module:
  • Added duplex detection for the Canon iR C3220.
  • Added custom page size detection for the Canon Image PROGRAF IPF-8000 wide-format printer.
  • Additional customization ability in the release station – the field orders and column widths can now be changed, and several other visual customizations were added.
  • More improvements to the account selection popup to ensure it always pops up on top of other windows, and that it is focused for input.
  • Minor performance improvements when processing PostScript documents.
  • Fixed issue with page level color detection for Adobe InDesign documents on PostScript print queues.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the progress window for the account sync and import not to display on IE.
  • Fixed bug that caused charge rates not to be taken into account when the user charges to their personal account.
  • Fixed a display bug where the charge rates for a shared account weren’t displayed when accessing the page in a certain way.
• Changes specific to the internet control module:
  • Fixed an issue that could cause proxy logs to be re-processed when a logs are being read over a network share and the connection is lost.
  • Fixed an issue processing log files in ISA format that caused downloads and uploads to be reversed.
  • Prevented a situation where the internet module wouldn’t report the last internet usage of the day for a few hours, which could make the usage show up at unusual times in the log.
