Added support for 3,200 concurrent users
The most important news that now the communication server can support up to 3,200 concurrent connections from Bopup Messenger and Bopup Observer clients. Previous value of 1,600 concurrent users was hard-coded in the software. We believe that now the IM server is ready to be used in large corporate and private networks.

Improvements in the service module to make the server much stable
There are a lot of improvements and enhancements we made in the service module that handles all users' connections over network. The service could hang or stop accept new connections from the messenger clients at some time so we reviewed and rebuilt it's source code to avoid all possible issues and problems. It works now faster, better and should take a smaller amount of computer RAM.

Messaging Groups of instant messaging server now support multiple IP ranges

New version 5.3.0 of Bopup Communication Server is available for download. This is major release of the server product that added support for multiple ranges of IP addresses that can be now associated with each messaging group. Previous versions of the communication server supported only a single IP range that could be used to dynamically add users to the group. In some cases that was not enough if a customer has large and complicated network with different ranges of IP addresses. Now that question can be easily solved.

Assign users to group dynamically via multiple IP ranges

The "IP range" tab of the group properties dialog contains a list of associated IP ranges. Click Add... button to add a new range of addresses including a short comment string.

Adding a new range of IP addresses

To remove an existing IP range click Remove button.

All dynamically assigned users get an instant notification once they have been added or removed from a group.

The new version of the IM server also fixed a user display option that shows user names in the server console in a choosen format. It worked wrong regardless the selected format.

A new era has come: Bopup Messenger version 7.0 is released

Long 15 years. During the last 15 years our instant messaging client called Bopup Messenger was offerred within it's initial interface designed and produced in 2003 year! The messenger icons, bitmaps and toolbars were not changed from the time when Windows XP had been released.

Of course many things have changed from the beginning on the XXI century, and the vision of GUI and application design too. And those things that worked in the past started to look odd and ugly today. So the changes in the messenger interface became a critical need. So meet all-new Bopup Messenger version 7.0

The new release of the messenger has flat windows and dialogs. We removed borders to make the interface more clear.

New toolbar images, new icons in Contact Lists and everywhere in the application. The new interface is performed in monochrome theme.

At the same time we tried to make new images similar to the previous interface so existing customers could continue using the software and the upgrade to the new software was not painful and difficult.

In addition the application removed many unnecessary functions that came from it's oldest versions, deleted some menu items to make the messenger much better, lighter and easier to use.

Bopup Messenger version 7.0 is fully compatible with previous versions of the communication server and IM clients so the version upgrade will not affect to instant communication and will not bring any issues to text messaging services.

New major update of Bopup Communication Server released

Our IM server application has been updated and it's version 5.1.0 has been released. This recent update of Bopup Communication Server comes with many new additions and changes, most of useful and important are described below.

What's new in Bopup Communication Server 5.1.0:

Added localization to Russian language

This release of the communication server added Russian translation including interface of the Setup Wizard, Desktop and Program menu shortcuts and the interface of Management Console. The localization also applied the IM Client Configuration Tool. This is the most useful and important update for our Russian customers and users.

Showing data from Messaging History is speed up

Management Console improved the speed of result list update showing data in Message History views. Prior versions could take a lot of time to refresh that lists if a huge number of messages and transfer have been selected. Now it should work faster and show up to 65,535 records instead of previous 10,000.

Management Console checks and registers IM service module if it is missing

Another annoying and common issue that our customers might face with is a sudden missing of Bopup Communication Server service from Services list. This could appear during Windows update or during a upgrade of the communication server software to a new version. Now the Management Console checks that the service exists in the system and registers it if otherwise.

Saving message logs to text files

The new version activates the option to save shown instant messages and file transfers in the Message History to a text file even no data is currently selected. In this case all shown data will be saved into a file. Otherwise only selected messages and transfers will be saved.

Fixed issues with upgrade previous versions

We noticed that sometimes new version 5.x of the IM server could not update an existing version 4.x correctly and interface of the Management Console started showing bugs like some resources missing. That could appear of the communication server was initially installed to a directory that differs from default location at "\Program Files\Bopup Communication Server\" (or "\Program Files (x86)\Bopup Communication Server\" on 64-bit systems) so some newly added resources of version 5.x still copied to default location. The version 5.1.0 fixed this.
