C. New Features and Enhancements

New Features

This version of Synchronization Services now supports ActiveSync as well as SyncML.

- Added ActiveSync 2.5, 12.0 and 12.1 support.
- Added provisioning support with device ActiveSYnc RemoteWipe command. This feature will not be possible to enable until a new client is released with the new  Pref forms for handheld devices. Currently checkbox "Wipe device" can be set by the system admin via batch admin command:
        
PUT PREFERENCES <userid> <checkbox fieldId> 6 1
where <userId> is the system assigned FirstClass userid and <checkbox fieldId> is:
        
4005 for device 1
4015 for device 2
4025 for device 3
4035 for device 4
        
To uncheck the checkbox:
PUT PREFERENCES <userid> <checkbox fieldId> 6 0

Fixes

- Fixed issue where Contacts with same name created on device would appear as single contact on FirstClass.
- Relaxed event type checking to allow document event types to sync.
- Fixed issue where Contact URL field not synced.
- Fixed issue where 5th device was not handled correctly
- Fixed issue where INETCLI2 bug caused FCSS to crash
- Fixed issue where events created in server timezone.
- Fixed issue where Contact birthday was not checked for equality.
- Fixed issue where Midnight log roll-over was printing config info and date/time FCSS started.
- Adjusted next sync time to be the start time of the current sync. Previous code had a small time gap causing items "under change" not to be picked up for updates.
- Fixed incorrect encoding of SyncML 1.2 devinfo block.
-SyncML data encoding for vCal and vCard mime content will use initially the character set defined in the WBXML header. If the client sends the data first subsequent data encoding will use the character set defined in the vCard or vCal mime content.
-SyncML event/task note content size is truncated to 1/2 the maximum allowed message size. This prevents repetitive SLOW syncs if a single item cannot fit into one message.
-Relaxed SyncML SLOW sync requirements. SyncML SLOW sync done only when:
a) Preference form set to SLOW
b) Sent item to device is pending a MAP of syncID. (i.e. device did not reply with a MAP)
c) Device requests a SLOW sync.
        All other abnormal conditions cause FCSS to set next sync as REFRESH FROM SERVER.
