xSwithBoard beta2

[James Traynor <james@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I plan to release the second beta of Switchboard tomorrow night along
with an updated Outlook plugin. I thought I would drop a post here to
detail all the updates to expect. As you'll see this is quite an update!

Added in Beta 2

Handles 50 simultaneous lines.
Outlook plugin sync for all fields
create new records from the web, but create them in an active outlook
balloon popups on ends of calls
Config screen now has a sub page where you can give different lines
different icons, names etc
Dial support for multiple outgoing lines.
Dial support detection, using the latest xAPTel
XML icon down the bottom gives ie users what firefox users had, ie.
access to all intranet rss feeds
fixed an error with the db lookups with certain incoming number delimiters.
Tosend file added to to include more functions
Fixes Issues with withheld, international and payphone calls from meteor
devices
Add support for the alternate cid.incoming schema
New and unknown calls no longer create "Unknown" records, it
served no
purpose and now you also get the chance to create the contact in outlook
Call log can link to online maps using either a general location from
the std or using a postcode if found
Added links to caller records in the In Progres section
STDs are used to reformat the incoming numbers dashes are removed and a
space is inserted
Added config button to rebuild the call log map references
Added local std option where if a number doesn't start with 0, a set STD
is added
New and less ott delete icon
Ability to tell xAP Speech to stop talking when the receiver is picked
up (Requires xAP Speech 1.1+)
STD database moved to a seperate file to aid updates without risk to the
call log / address book
Added functions to the xAP sending (ToSend.txt) to insert spaces or
commas between number to help with
Rebuild log actions added to the contact address edit screens to update
the map reference information
Contacts database now stores both the real number and a stripped number
to help faster lookups and rebuilds
Added a rebuild number button to re create all the stripped numbers
Tray icon is now red during startup
Tray icon changes if there are calls in progress
Re-write to lookup code, should be faster now
Contact record screen now alerts you to waiting changes that haven't yet
gone to outlook
Database rebuilds now use the tray balloon (if enabled) to show progress
Database actions set to do some housekeeping if the exe is changed
xAP Source addresses in the line config now support wildcards
Added IM display and logging
Added Contacts screen A-Z
Added option to silence TTS if any line is busy
Contacts and IM displayed moved to seperate Intranet icons
Added raw xAP sending to the tosend and tosendim txt files
Added secure mode, when active all editing/deleting is not possible on
any pc bar the server
Detects loss of xAP and alerts you in the web
Improved web interface loading and added auto refreshes to some pages
Event added for handset pickup on an incoming call, tosend_pickup.txt
Event added for incoming call end, tosend_incend.txt
Event added for outgoing call end, tosend_outend.txt


The outlook plugin now:
is much faster at locating records for update and display
will sync address fields as well as the name and number fields
allow remote record creation
has internal queues for each function to better handle multiple events


I'll post more tommorrow with the download links
