Merlin Updates

John Kranz on 19. June 2009

merlin2server-125merlinlogo-125We are pleased to announce the release of Merlin for Mac OS X 2.7.1 and Merlin Server 2.7.1. Both updates are available as a free download to license holders of Merlin 2 and Merlin Server.

Important: This version requires that users that share projects with special characters like &,?,#,% in their titles, have to update all their Merlin clients and servers to make the projects work again. The iPhone client app is not affected.

  • In rare circumstances, Merlin would crash after selecting a report.
  • There were a few Safari display problems with HTML export.
  • If the Web-Sharing was started in Safari Web app, additional windows would not work
  • The internal date picker used a wrong time zone when entering values.
  • In some cases Merlin did not respond when working on calendars or deleting file elements.
  • The date picker in Merlin Web did not work.
  • CSV import did not work properly under all circumstances.
  • There was an issue with the Indian Rupee currency.
  • Under some rare circumstances the project publishing could not be started.
  • When the format for the gantt ruler in Merlin Web did not contain day names, month names were displayed instead.
  • The advanced search for the “Notes” attribute was broken.
  • Newly created Todos in iCal will now result in new activities created in Merlin.

    I updated to 2.7.1 when Merlin asked if I wanted to.

    Now it won’t recognize my license, so I can’t save my work…

    Help…

    Are you sure you have the latest version? We had to send out the update twice, because of a defect upload. So, please check for updates again. If this does not help, please contact the support.

    Whar are the Merlin Server license for ?

    Say: We just purshased [1] license for the server, what will this license be for – only one user connected to the server simultaineously ??

    Also: We are planning to run the Merlin Server on a xServe running OSX server 10.5.7.
    How do we secure that merlin server starts automatically – without any users logging in (ak: when the machine restarts) ?

    Michal — the single license of Merlin Server supports up to 10 concurrent user sessions, along with 10 iPhone licenses. Only thing not included is a license for Merlin for Mac OS X, which can be purchased separately.

    Once the Merlin Server preference pane is configured to the “on” position, this service will start up automatically whenever xServe machine restarts. No manual steps necessary! :-)

    Thanks John!

    We have purchased a 10 user license of the Merlin as well a one server license – which seems to be a perfect match then!

    Updated again 2.7.1 (8248) now. License is OK, but now every other time I try to create a report Merlin crashes…
