To start the week with a positive message: SwyxWare v6.12 is done.

Now our usual procedure takes place. Our distributors have already been informed. Tomorrow the release will be announced in Swyx Partnernet together with download links for our partners. At the end of the week the public download will be available. We do this three-step release to give distributors and partners a chance to prepare before their customers get the new version.

Technically it’s a bugfix release. Nevertheless, we included some new features, too. There’s SwyxIt! Dialer mode for SwyxPhone S315. That’s a new mode SwyxIt! can run with. It allows initiating a call on an S315 phone logged in with the same user account as SwyxIt!. It’s not full-featured CTI. You have to use a SwyxPhone Lxxx for that. Then we have SwyxIt! Web Extension which is a new user interface control to show a web page inside SwyxIt! depending on certain call states. SwyxIt! Messenger is a simple instant messaging feature built into SwyxIt!. And, by the way, you now can install SwyxIt! and SwyxFax Client on Windows Vista x64, too. It’s officially supported.

On the server side we now have Swyx Trace Tool. I’ve already written about it here. Besides that there are some minor enhancements in the ECR area. I already wrote about some of them.

But even if this does not look like a bugfix release, we spend a considerable amount of time fixing bugs and making sure that it remains as stable as the previous v6.1x versions.
