Major update of Bopup Communication Server and new version of Bopup Messenger

Bopup Communication Server product has been update to version 5.10.0 This is a major release of the IM server that comes with great improvements, changes and bugfixes. 

First of all we improved SQL database structure by removing unnecessary and adding new indexes to tables that speed up an overall performance. There are also a lot of changes and improvements in the IM service module that operates better and faster on a high number of concurrent users. 

Management Console of the IM server adds a faster load of message log. We improved the lists and now data is shown rapidly even thousands of records are loaded. 

Another improvement is related to displaying charts on the Welcome and other profile pages. We improved SQL queries that select data so now the charts do not delay loading pages.

A new version 7.2.16 of Bopup Messenger is also available. This is a critical release of the instant messenger that resolve the issue with message popup received from non-contacts user. We strongly recommend to update the messenger to the latest version.

Bopup Communication Server version 5.9.3 — Stable IM server with support of thousands concurrent users

 New version 5.9.3 of Bopup Communication Server is released. It is a critical update of the IM server software that fixes many issues and comes with great improvements. 

The general fix relates to a memory leak in the service module. Due to that problem the service could not be even properly stopped and remained in Windows memory all time with "Stopping" status. Another issue was the problem with data update when the service stopped reading data from the SQL database. In addition the service could stop sending News messages after couple hours of running.

We strongly recommend to our customers to update their existing instance of Bopup Commuication Server to the new version to avoid problems described above and the issue with using a huge amount of memory by the IM service.

As always the update procedure is too much simple — just download a new setup package and launch it on the server computer to upgrade program files with keeping all data and settings.

We noticed that when the server database grows with a lot of transferred messages, user sessions and other internal information that causes different issues related to overall performance of the IM server. New update adds all necessary indexes and new fields to SQL tables to fix them so now the server should work faster and better.

Many interface improvements

Bopup Communication Server version 5.6.1 released

New update of the instant messaging server is available for download. It's recent release is version 5.6.1 which added some new functionality and fixes minor issues.

Management Console of the IM server (Dashboard screen)
What's new:

Added function to export message archive to CSV files
In addition to existing function that saves message history selected in Management Console to text files we extended the export functionality and added support to export archive to CSV files. CSV format is a text format in which the data is separated with semicolons. Such files can be opened in Microsoft Excel and similar office apps where the data is shown in different columns.

Added interface improvements in Management Console running in remote mode
This change belongs to the server console when it is running in administrator mode to manage a remote instance of Bopup Communication Server. Since the service module is running remotely in such cases then the console does not show Services and Event Log links on Dashboard screen. Also it changed a status of the service from Unknown to Running (since the remote console was  able to connect to IM server) without options to Start/Stop service.

Fixed error in remote Management Console if a wrong password is entered
There is an important fix in the server console that improves functionality of Management Console installed in administation mode. The new version fixes an error when an incorrect password is entered in the console on startup in order to connect to the server instance.

There are another fixes and mprovements that the new version 5.6.1 has.
