Not showing as available on ours yet!

Looks like the room blocking that I suggested has been implemented, hopefully it works as well as the rest of the system.

Was due out today, but a few final tests Friday delayed it - you'll be able to download from Tuesday. I'll post on here when it has been uploaded.

Apolagies Tom!

Hey, no worries - I am glad you guys are looking out for what we do.
If I'm totally honest, it *was* due monday, and all press releases etc. have gone live as Sue is away, so she just left things to go on a specific day. Also, the pumpkin image gets less relevant by the day

Software being software though, FP3 had other ideas - a few issues meant we have had to test for another day just so our development manager (hi Flemming!) who is a stickler for these things can sleep at night

My smoothies updating with FP3 as we speak!!!

Seems to have taken a while to get it uploaded to the backend licencing servers today.

Keep me updated with any comments you have on the new stuff.

'and Room stuff' can you enable/disable rooms instantly? Will it work with Citrix?

Yes, and Yes (presuming each citrix client has its own IP, which I believe is normal these days).

It will also be acessible via the portal (ie by designated AD usernames/groups).

Do you mean the thin client device has it's own IP? Each one of our devices gets an IP from the DHCP server but of course the actual internet traffic is generated from the Citrix server.

Thanks.

I have got ooodles of updates today... should there just be a feature pack to install or is it loads of little ones?

Give it a go - I am pretty certain we can make it work somehow.

It's lots of little baby updates.

FPs really aren't just one big software updates - indeed some folks will have had tiny bits of FP3 for a while it is just a day when we choose to punish ourselves by releasing a lot of updates on the same day
