The activEcho 2.5 client is not compatible with the 2.1 server. Please upgrade your server to 2.5
first, and then upgrade the clients.
The activEcho 2.1 client is compatible with the 2.5 server but will not have all of the new features
available.
ENHANCEMENTS:
Support for quotas. Different quotas values can be set for Active Directory vs. ad-hoc users, as well
as based on Active Directory group membership. End users can manage their quota usage by using
the web to selectively purge old revisions and deleted files. See the user manual for more
information.
Support for read-only ("download only") shares. This setting can be enabled when inviting
members to a share, and from the Members page for the share.
Support for selective syncing. Via the web, users can pick which folders they want to have synced
to their desktop vs. only accessible via the web. This allows users to have access to shared content
but not necessarily have all content synced to their local desktop.
Administrators can now reassign ownership of content when deleting a user from activEcho, or can
choose to delete a user and later reassign the content using the Manage Deleted Users page.
When a user's permission to share is removed from a shared folder, the folder is now removed from
their client activEcho sync folder.
activEcho clients support pausing / resuming syncing.
Syncing files to Mac OS X clients is significantly faster.
The file repository can now be configured to store content on a UNC path to support network drives.
New Notification setting allows the administrator to be notified when the file repository free space
goes below a set threshold.
Default email templates can now be viewed in the management settings.
Web Projects page now provides a summary of the number of files and folders.
Web Users page provides the administrator a summary of individual user's content and quota usage.
Sync clients no longer time out if the initial sync contains more than 50,000 files.
Windows client installer is now available as a MSI package for use in automate deployment.
Deleting many files at once from the web browser is much faster.
Web now provides an "Invite" button for the folder the user is viewing.
Web log view now has a reset filters button.
Master encryption key has been migrated from the Tomcat directory into the activEcho database to
prevent accidental data loss if Tomcat is uninstalled without proper backups.
