Netpresenter 4.0 Change History:

build 197, Sep 20, 2006

1. Netpresenter now also supports downloading channels via proxies configured to pass requests from authenticated users only
2. The player now optionally pops-up full screen
3. All icons, bitmaps used in the Player and Screensaver have been renewed
4. The behavior of the "update" menu item has been changed. It will now only look for changes in files that are marked "must be monitored". The previous behavior, i.e. check all files regardless of there "must be monitored state" can still be achieved by holding the CTRL-key while selecting the update menu item

1. It is now possible to jump to another channel by clicking on a url in the player
2. The player now supports downloading channels over secure sockets (https)

1. The player will optionally withdraw a popup after an alert has been unpublished
2. Solved a problem where the Internet Explorer application being launched when a user clicked on a Url from the password protected Netpresenter Screensaver would not always appear on the foreground.

1. Solved an update problem that occurred when channels where distributed by a Netware ftp server

1. The "disable screensaver until next logon" option now indicates the current status (other applications might have changed the screensaver status as well)
2. Solved a problem where a player configured for full screen display, may not cover the whole screen when started minimized and activated by an alert

1. The installer now passes validation tests for "Windows XP Logo Program Suite" en "Windows 2000 Logo Program Suite" (Microsoft's Orca).
2. Hyperlinks will be opened in a separate Browser window instead of using an existing window
3. Removed the upper limit in number of effects per slide (was 50)
4. Updates that failed because of a failing network connection will be resumed as soon as the network is reconnected instead of waiting for the poll interval to expire).
5. The desktop player can be started minimized using "/min" option. (the existing options, i.e. use "start /min netplay.exe", or use a shortcut with the "run minimized" option continue to work of course).
6. An update interval of 0 seconds no longer causes Netpresenter to hog the CPU
7. When the .chn extension has been associated with the desktop player, one may double click a channel in order to display it. This version also plays the channel when a path contains space characters.

1. Improvement in customer specific feature to launch a Url maximized
2. Improvements in handling remote configuration files that direct Netpresenter to other channel locations

1. When browsing webserver directories using a webbrowser one may double click a channel to launch the player (Installer registers protocol prefixes np_chn_http://, np_chn_ftp:// and np_chn:// ).
2. When Windows Explorer cashes, the Netpresenter icon will be redrawn in the notification area of the taskbar
3. After "Start Screensaver Now" command, mouse moves will be ignored a little longer (so little mouse moves will not cause the screensaver to exit almost immediately after having explicitly started it)
4. Text wrap: Text may wrap around pictures
5. The "disable screensaver until next logon" option now also works after resuming from a system standby or hibernation

1. The installer now uses customized bitmaps

1. Fixed a problem where negative screen dimensions could cause a crash of the desktop player.
2. Installer now attempts to grant full access to the store directory for "Everyone"

1. Speeded up starting the player / screensaver by delay loading of DirectShow objects
2. Fixed spelling error: effectiviness" should be spelled as "effectiveness"
3. Optionally the player can scale a font to assure the text will always fit. (Example: set GlobalLowerLimitScaleFactor = 0.7 (default = 1) in [general] section of netpres.ini)
4. Player/screensaver can now read a remote configuration file and merge the contents with its configuration file stored locally.
   The player tries to handle the situation where the user account it is running with does not have enough rights to either access the remote file or change the file stored locally.
5. Change in icon animation: since build 184 the icon would only animate in case of popup
6. Selecting a channel that still contained environment variables from the list of previously visited channels would cause a “cannot open … “ message. This has been fixed.
7. When browsing to a new channel while the previous channel no longer exist would cause a “cannot open channel” error message. This has been fixed
8. The player's optional function for self-healing has been improved by also changing the screen saver settings of KEY_USERS.DEFAULT. The installer would set this right, but until now self-healing would ignore it.

1. When saving a channel in the netpres.ini file, environment variables will be preserved.

1. Netpresenter will now continue to play from the cache even if the path to the Netpresenter channel contains an environment variable that expands to different names depending on the circumstances (for example depending on whether a laptop user is logged via a domain or not.)

1. Netpresenter now will power on a display whenever an emergency alert message arrives.
2. Netpresenter may optionally deny power down requests for display or system, configurable only between certain hours.
3. Emergency alert messages may be acknowledged by minimizing the player. After an acknowledge, the Desktop Player and Screen saver will again show all slides.
4. Pressing the 'play' button will cause the player to advance to the next slide, unless the player is in pause state.
5. New demo channel, that better shows the integration of Netpresenter with the Message and Alert server and invites the user to enter new messages for immediate display.

1. Context sensitive menu is now also visible when playing full screen video.
2. Dialog properties dialog has been redesigned.
3. The last 5 channels visited are displayed in the menu for fast selection.
4. Extra support for Kiosk systems: The screen saver will optionally close all windows opened by a previous visitor.
5. An alert popup will shortly be displayed on top of all other 'on top' applications.

1. Fixed a small problem that would cause changes to the store directory not be saved in the .ini file

1. More advanced scheduling possibilities

1. Channels paths may be preceded by a '@' prefix to denote absolute channel names.
2. Subchannels will be updated, even if the control channel is temporarily off-line

1. Netpresenter is now compliant with Windows XP Service Pack 2.
2. HTML redirects will be detected.

1. It is now possible to let a slide continue after playing a video file has finished
2. Solved a problem reported by some customers about premature screen saver exists after displaying multimedia files with length > the slide time
3. Resolved that sometimes directly after installation, the trial seemed to have expired.
4. Upon customer request we added the possibility (configurable) to assign keyboard focus to a browser launched by the screensaver even if other applications on the user desktop were running full-screen
5. HTTP Connections on the same server bit using different IP ports (for example port 80 and 81) now cause a reconnect
6. For consistency we changed the names used in the channel selector
7. Possibility to disable "Fallback on original filename" (introduced since build 170) now also work for .txt, .avi and .mpg files.
8. Better support for video and audio. The player attempts to use DirectShow (part of DirectX) for playing multimedia file. This increases the number of video formats that can be played. Also mp3 is now supported. Streaming video and input from TV tuners may be supported in a future version.

1. Upon emergency alert, Player's display settings are no longer changed while screen saver runs.
2. Possibility to change the Netpresenter settings remotely.

1. Fallback strategy is set by default.
2. Image file without extension (for example when issued by a php server) are interpreted as .jpg files.
3. When the Screen saver was running and there was a popup, the Player would popup and force the screensaver to the background. When the Screen saver is now running, the sceensaver (instead of the player) will be used to display the alert.

1. There were situations that when the player was in pause mode, it would not be displayed correctly in the toolbar. Additionally the pause mode is now also indicated in the context sensitive menu.
2. The player would not re-paint its slide show correctly when its channel had been updated while in pause mode. The slides would appear black

1. When the option "OnSelectivePopupOnlyShowHighPrioritySlides" is set, Netpresenter would proceed with the rest of the channel after the update time had been expired.

1. Support for channels without the .chn extension (especially useful when using HTTP server side scripts).
2. The Netpresenter entry in control panelsoftware will now display the Netpresenter icon.

1. Improved error handling in the case where HTTP downloads would be interrupted halfway. (In some cases .jpg files would be overwritten with inferior ones)
2. On default, FallBackOnOriginalFileNames will now be set to false, so that Netpresenter no longer attempts to retrieve a file using its original pathname (as listed in the channel file). Example: Without this flag set to false, Netpresenter would, when it could not retrieve a file via HTTP (because of network problems), to retrieve the file via its original (UNC) path. This is not always wanted.

1. When OnSelectivePopupOnlyShowHighPrioritySlides=1 but the high priority slide is set to `Hide`, no slide would be shown at all.

1. Channels that start with white space or '%' will no longer be replicated (Since we have added a test on 'chnl1002')
2. Change of algorithm for determining temporary filenames in the store (guids instead of gettempfilename). This solves a problem that would occur in case of downloading problems, where a temporary filename of a file that could not be downloaded would be re-used. This would occasionally lead to display of a wrong image.
3. Fixed a problem introduced with build 163: On NT4 systems, pages with '&' were not displayed correctly.
4. The self-healing function no longer changes the ScreenSaverIsSecure setting if not explicitly required (introduced with build 167)

1. The channel selector now points to other, predefined, presentations when installing the demo.
   1. Demo Channel (online)
   2. Demo Channel (local)
   3. Message&Alert Server(online)
2. Improvements in Netpresenter’s self-healing function, so that that it is no longer needed to change each user’s NtUser.dat file during installation (the latter had been introduced in build.

1. Netpresenter now better handles unexpected http errors (such as “502 bad gateway”).

1. Color display on NT4 systems with 16-bit color depth (or less) has been improved by disabling halftone optimalisation for those systems.
2. Optionally Netpresenter’s self-healing now also sets the screensaver time-out and IsSecure properties to predefined values.
3. Installation improvements with respect to the screen saver settings of users that had a local profile stored on a system prior to the installation of Netpresenter.

1. Removed the requirement to logoff after Screen Saver installation on W2K systems.

1. When installing the demo software, the channels that can be selected with the channel selector have been moved.
2. Netpresenter now supports a .ini file in the installation directory (as opposed to the windows directory). If screensaver and player ought to use the same settings, the screen saver should be moved to the same directory.
3. Netpresenter will no longer use halftone optimalisation on NT systems with 65536 colors or less. This would effect image quality.
4. For simplicity, all temporary files will now be stored in the store directory (the cache).
5. When one prohibits end-users to change the properties, they can no loner select the 'properties' option in context sensitive menu nor toolbar.
6. Small improvement in installation procedure so that a systems display properties will show the actual registry settings with respect to installed screen saver.
7. NpAgent can no longer be started multiple times simultaneously on the same system.

1. The time format "January 12, 2004" has been added to the list of displayable time formats.
2. Solved a rarely occurring problem that could cause the screensaver to wait for a mouse move before continuing the presentation

1. Netpresenter is now able to detect recursive channels.
2. Netpresenter is now able to display HTML escape sequences for Unicode correctly enabling the user to enter Chinese or other Eastern Languages via the Netpresenter Message Server.
3. ASCII character 92 (') would not be displayed correctly.
4. Pop-up functionality default setting has been changed from Never into Selective. This allows the Player to pop-up when there is a "high priority" slide in the channel

1. Connecting to a webserver on the local machine (localhost) while not having a network connection resulted in download failure (No internet connection), while the webserver on the local machine was still reachable.

1. It's now possible to use environment variables in the channel location path.
2. Optimalization of FTP and HTTP downloading. Very important for high poll rates (low interval for update checking).

1. The Message Server and Netpresenter sometimes use different codepages. Netpresenter can now be configured to use a specific codepage by adding the "locale=English" key in the [general] section of the INI file.

1. Pictures which do not have an extension or that are unknown will now be loaded as JPEG instead of BMP.

1. A branch to a URL would be cached locally. A branch to for example http://www.netpresenter.nl would cause the contents of the index file to be cached as a .nl file.

1. MsiTransform skips keys with the name "Path" in any section. The Paths of the channel selector cannot be updated

1. Support for passive ftp. (PassiveFtp in [General] section of netpres.ini , default = 1).
2. Increase major version number to 3.6

1. Netpresenter now identifies itself as "Netpresenter/3.5.0" (User Agent)
2. The browser access type has been changed
   (we used to send "*/*", where now we send "Accept: */*")
3. Forced update is now a real forced update
4. Authentication for proxy servers is now supported
5. Support for external Unicode text files

1. Support for Netpresenter add-ons
2. First Netpresenter add-on: Support for queue management systems

1. Suspend / resume download in case of entering a low bandwidth area (for police patrol cars where available bandwidth depends on distance to headquarters).
2. Remote http files would be cached by the internet explorer engine as well as the Netpresenter engine.

1. Support for server side scripting. URL's like
   http://www.[somecompany].com/netpresenter/request/index.php?module=bustimes&period=10
   are supported. This particular url will provide the bus information on buses leaving a London bus terminal within the next 10 minutes.
2. Tab characters would sometimes not be displayed correctly (depending on font selected)

1. When the store is not configured, Netpresenter defaults to the %temp% directory. In this directory a new directory is created which is used as the store. Environment variables like %temp% will be expanded.
   Important: For network performance reasons %temp% should not be located on the network

1. The monitor directory location has been made configurable also by setting an option in the netpres.ini file.
   Please view the "Administrator's guide" for more information. Download here.
2. The player is now able to poll with a minimal interval of 1 second instead of 1 minute.
3. Sometimes the Player didn't close properly. This happened when the player was stopped while updating.

1. Version info would not be displayed on win9x/ME systems.

1. The Player sometimes remained in the taskbar and couldn't be made visible easily.
2. The Player and NpAgent now have some self-healing built-in. I.e. To work around a problem some system administrators have setting screen saver settings for users with roaming profiles, the Player and NpAgent can do this as well.
3. When using file sharing for accessing channels, clients PC's that store the cache on FAT systems and access the original channel from NTFS systems would sometimes renew the cache tool often.
4. It is no longer necessary to use the same case for the drive letter of subchannels as would be used in the channelpath key of netpres.ini file.

1. The channel.ini file can now also be located on a FTP or HTTP location.
2. On some systems the tab characters in the text indicating one is using a trial version would not be displayed correctly.

1. The player's "Disable Screen Saver until next logon" option now also works on systems where policy settings define the Screen Saver.

1. When starting the player the update icon would flash until the user maximized the player
2. The Netpresenter Player would sometimes popup minimized instead of the normal floating view.
3. Improvements made to the Channel Switcher.
   Click here for the document on how to enable the features.

1. When the 'CHECK EVERY' option was set to 0 hours and 0 minutes, after a reboot this would be changed to 1 hours 0 minutes. This has been changed to 0 hours 1 minutes.
2. Fixed the problem that after opening the task tray menu it would not disappear until the user selected an option, instead of disappearing when the user clicked outside the menu.
3. Fixed a problem with daylight saving time. The player would constantly update instead of only updating when there was a change in the channel. ( This problem appeared when using FTP or HTTP functionality. )
4. The task tray icon would sometimes remain in the 'updated' state. A user needed to minimize and maximize the player before the icon would change. This has now been fixed.
5. improved the switching from one channel to another. This would sometimes fail.
6. The installer now sets the player to start normal instead of minimized when starting the player through the start menu.

1. New feature. There is a new option called "Start Screen Saver Now" in the task tray menu that allows the user to start the screensaver immediately.
2. New feature. There is a new option called "Disable Screen Saver until next logon" in the task tray menu that allows the user to disable the screensaver until the next logon.
3. New feature. There is a new option called "Select a channel" in the task tray menu that allows the user to switch between channels. This also allows administrators to have multiple channels in which the user can choose, without giving the user the possibility to select other channels then specified.

1. Fixed a problem where in combination with fast updates (every minute) the players would sometimes appear to keep files locked too long. The effect was that the Editor would sometimes not be able to update a file. A possible explanation of the problem is that the server would keep it locked on the assumption that the client would reopen the file soon. This problem existed since the first 3.5 beta's but were never reported before. This would occur when using file shares on NT or Novell servers.
2. Fixed the fact that the Desktop player would become a background window after having changed any of its properties
3. The identity tab of the property pages now also displays version numbers of all modules installed
4. In build 141 the icon in the taskbar notification area would sometimes indicate 'new channel' even when viewed
5. For guaranteed visibility, after a popup the player will now have a width minimally equal to halve the screen width, and a height minimally equal to halve the screen height
6. It is now easier to correct a wrongly entered channel path in the property dialog. (The dialog will no be longer closed immediately after pressing the 'OK' button.)
7. A temporary file is made in the user's temp directory to store information about channels that should popup. The information would be stored using the filename as the section name in a .ini file. Due to the technology used, information of channels that contained brackets in the name (for example index[1].chn) would not be stored correctly. This has been fixed.
8. Solved a bug that could cause the player to crash when selecting other channels while it was busy rendering
9. The installer now better supports quiet (administrative) installations
10. The installer now also supports NT4 with service pack less then 6

1. When a channel is updated before a 2nd update interval had expired, the update would fail on channels that were marked read-only
2. When running as a background windows, not iconised, the player would not be set to the foreground upon a popup
3. When using navigation buttons to branch directly to other slides, the player would sometimes use another slide's buttons
4. When player and screen saver are running simultaneously, the screen saver would fail to update dynamically changing images
5. Solved an annoying bug in the installer that would cause the screen saver to be started multiple times on Win9x systems or would make the Win9x system appear to hang directly after the installation
6. The player no longer disappears behind other windows after changing the properties
7. MSI installer fixes (Installation would appear to hang on some W9x machines)

1. Objects would still be draw after a resize operation
2. The initial download, when updating the player, now also occurs as a background operation
3. Netpresenter no longer requires a width:height ratio of 4:3
   Note: The implication is that one should more often choose images to be displayed 'stretched' whereas with previous players 'center' or 'stretch keep aspect' would also appear well (since the player would force a 4:3 view)
4. To navigate to another slide you would sometimes have to click twice on a navigation button
5. Changing the option to hide or display a toolbar now has an immediate effect
6. When the desktop player pops-up because of channel changes, it will now become the foreground window
7. When a popup occurs when the player is in pause mode, it will start playing again
8. Improved display of scaled images in Windows NT machines
9. When player and screen saver are running simultaneously, player will do the replication and notify the screen saver
10. Help files reflect build version 3.5

1. Fixed a text alignment problem on player and screensaver that would occur after installing an Asian language package
2. Minor MSI installer fixes

1. The player would sometimes fail to display images from a presentation.
2. Installation on not recently updated windows machines should be done with the .EXE file not the .MSI file
3. Dynamic content would not always update.
4. Screensaver was unable to write launch.txt (needed for hyper linking from the screensaver)
5. If a user would run the installation without entering a serial code there would de a "bad serial" message.
6. After the end of the trial period (30 days) the player continues to play the presentation.

1. Final Toolbar
2. mpeg 2 files would sometimes not be displayed directly on Windows XP systems
3. Display problems would occur when the clock was set to display the date in a long format.
4. The cache would not be updated when a jpeg, multimedia or text file of a channel would not be renewed
5. Better error message when the channel key in the netpres.ini file refers to a non existing channel.

1. The icons in the taskbar notification area have changed completely. The icon now represents a screen. The icons will be animated while downloading, showing a discrete arrow that moves. When a new channel has been downloaded and the player is minimized, the little screen will be animated for 1 minute (the screen icon will become bright in 2 steps). After the animation the little screen icon remains in its brightest state until the user has viewed the channel. An error situation (channel cannot be found) will be indicated with a small red cross in the upper right corner of the icon.
2. Toolbar has changed
3. File association icon has changed
4. The icon that will be shown when viewing a directory with Netplay.exe or Netpresenter.scr using the explorer has been changed. An optimal icon will be displayed for each directory view in the explorer. The same icon will be displayed in the application's caption bar.
5. Build 136 introduced resize problems with delayed objects. This has been solved.
6. When entering a non-existing channel a message box will appear. The previous channel will still be shown.
7. Netpresenter 3.1 would sometimes be confused about its internal state and would display "Hide Netplay" in its menu when it had already been minimized. This has been solved. The player now also behaves correctly when started maximized.
8. The default setting of the key DoNotBranchWhenNotLoggedIn in the [Player] section of the netpres.ini file has been changed to 0. This has been decided in order not to break existing installations

1. For added security Win9x users that have not yet logged in will no longer be able to start the internet browser from the screen saver. This feature can be controlled by setting the key DoNotBranchWhenNotLoggedIn in the [Player] section of the netpres.ini file. The default setting is 1, i.e. users cannot start the browser from the screen saver when not logged in.
2. When resizing the player window while not all delayed objects on a slide where already visible, these delayed objects would appear on the slide being displayed after the resize operation
3. When entering a channel that does not exist, the player will now warn with a message box

1. Important improvement in application's responsiveness
2. When the player runs, the screen saver would not display in the small window of desktop properties (a full-screen preview was no problem)
3. The new options for "popup when channel contains high priority slides" and "user cannot close player" have been made available through the property menu (in previous build they were only available by editing the netpres.ini file manually). (Note that these options have been moved from the [PlayerOptions] section to the [Player] section.
4. Channels on a local system would sometimes not be displayed correctly
5. Build 133 would not complain when the user would enter a non-existing channel
6. Backward slashes anywhere in a URL would confuse the player
7. Improvements in the installer package :
   • support for administrative install.
   • .chn files will be associated with the editor.
   • Correct installation of the screen saver in the registry.
8. The screen saver will end automatically when the monitor is powered down. It will allow workstations to enter reduced power mode, thus reducing energy consumption.

1. Synchronization issues between player and saver where solved.
2. The icons in the taskbar now indicate when a channel had been updated.

1. Channels may now be downloaded using HTTP or FTP, which makes Netpresenter much better scalable with respect to the number of clients connected to a central server. One may now use intranet/internet servers for publishing a channel. Just select a channel like "/channel/index.chn".
2. Channel downloads now occur in the background (multithreaded).
3. When changing the size of the player window, hotspots will keep the proper position relative to the background image.
4. Selective popup: The administrator may force the player to popup. (By changing any slide's priority to 10, the player will popup as soon as it has detected an update). For best results you may want to set this high priority slide first in a channel.
5. CPU load of player brought down considerably, resulting in smoother image transitions and less strain on the PC.
6. Hyperlinks now work correctly on all 32-bit Windows operating systems.
7. The administrator player may prevent users from simply exiting the player using the close button.
8. Install package uses Microsoft installer technology (msi package).
