Meet "Sealed messaging" functionality

 New versions of Bopup IM client/server software introduce all-new functionality called "Sealed messages". This is a new type of instant messaging that requires an opening (unsealing) text messages before they can be viewed and read. Once message is unsealed the sender gets a notification on that and unsealed date/time is added into conversation.

The new function is enabled on the communication server and after that it appears in the messenger options. The sealed messages can be sent among regular instant messages since there can be 2 options available in the sending dialog — send sealed or regular message. But it is also possible to configure the messenger and always exchange with sealed messages.

Turning on the sealed messaging on the IM server

When a new sealed message is received the messenger hides a whole conversation and notifies a user that it is required to unseal the message to see and read it.

Within a getting the recipient's reaction by a sender that the message has been opened and viewed the sealed messaging makes overall communication more secure and confidential. In some cases it prevents viewing and reading arrived messages by someone who may stay close to the recipient's workstation.

New versions of IM server and messenger clients improve Message History module

New versions of Bopup Communication Server, Bopup Messenger and Bopup Observer have been released. The new software totally improves the functionality to view Message History.

Now the server console lets search for transferred files for their filenames in the history. Previously the server performed the search only for message text.

New releases of the instant messaging clients added the search function in their Message Histore module. So it is possible now to find messages and files by enterring words which match that data.

What's new:

Recent versions of the software now support MyGroups feature that allow to create user groups directly from instant messenger clients. These function is available to Power User and Adminstrator account types only and it lets users to organize their own groups similar to Messaging Groups created on the IM server.

Improved overall performance of the IM server

New version of the messaging server improves and fixes structure of the SQL database. 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

The server console fixes issues in it's interface such moving between elements in the left tree using arrows on the keyboard, saving message/transfer log into text files, displaying last logon time in Find Users view, moving/deleting messages in archive views, and others.
