SoftWorks Systems Inc. is happy to announce the mass release of ROES Version 9. This will begin occurring Monday, July 27th. ROES v9 has been in use on all test launches since May 31st and we have received excellent feedback from many of you. If you have not done any tests with your ROES Test Client, please do so to ensure you are ready to take advantage of all the new features. A Frequently Asked Questions document that will be updated regularly can be found at http://www.roes-u.com/Training/ClientV9/FAQ.html. A primer on v9 changes can be found at http://www.roes-u.com/Training/ClientV9/V9CoreChanges.pdf. Highlights to keep in mind:
Do my templates files need to be encrypted?
You do not need to be running an encrypted templates file for v9, though we strongly encourage all to do so. Remember, templates need to be encrypted for use in Template Tool 8 and upcoming Template Tool 9. A video on encryption can be found at http://www.roes-u.com/Training/TTool/Templates%20File%20Encryption/Templates%20File%20Encryption.html. The new enc file should be tried using a browser to pull the file via direct URL. If it succeeds in downloading, please advise us of the new file names on your site and then we can change the calls in the startup here and test them. Once completed and running the old zip files can be deleted from the web.
What ROES Server versions will support ROES v9 orders?
ROES Server version 2.1.5 and higher and ROES DP2 Server 1.1.2 support v9 orders.
What is the new Tools tab and text entry?
In ROES Version 9 text entry is performed in the upper right Tools tab in the Option pane. Upon selection of a text node the Tools tab will automatically display and you can begin typing immediately. Text entered will display in both the entry field and the node at the same time. Controls for font and color will be displayed.
How do I enable the enhanced text features, the new Styled Text?
The new Styled Text adds new text handling to allow for different fonts, sizes and colors of text inside the same node. Styled Text can be enabled throughout the program by adding the Configuration element to your templates file with the styledtext attribute set to true. For any product you want to restrict the new text from simply add the styledtext attribute set to false on the Template.
