Bopup Messenger version 7.0.3 is available

New improvement of Bopup Messenger client has been released. The new version 7.0.3 improves overall performance of the application by fixing known and minor issues.

Bopup Messenger improved showing messages in conversation. Now messages sent and received in previous date are displayed with Yesterday, 2 days ago, 3 days ago, or with a date stamp. There is also fix with a scrolling the conversation messages once the dialog pops up or it's size is changed.

Another improvement belongs to exporting messages from Message History dialog. Now the messenger saves all selected date in same order as it appears in the list (previous releases kept data in the reverse order).

Bopup Messenger also fixed issue on clicking long length URLs (links) shown both in conversations and Message History dialog.

We also added an improvement that removes the Groups title from Contact List if there are no assigned/available messaging groups to a user, i.e. when a group list is empty.

Bopup Observer 6.0 — Major version of the LAN pager software

We are proud to inform that new version 6.0.0 of Bopup Observer client has been released. This is a major update of the messenger software that contains a huge number of improvements, changes and additions.

Bopup Observer is a LAN messenger for one-way urgent messaging and alerting purposes

What's new:

New application interface with changed icons, wizards and toolbars
This release of Bopup Observer now looks similar to recent versions of Bopup Messenger client. It has a updated user interface with modern-look icons and images on toolbars. New graphic is performed in monochrome colors.

Improved exporting messages to a text file
Now the messenger exports and saves messages and file transfers from the history dialog in same order as the data appears in the list. We noticed that previous versions of the app exported data in reverse order.

Fixed error on clicking long URLs in the message text
There was an error in the messenger software when a user clicks on long length links shown in incoming messages. The new release fixes such issues.

Fixed issue with autologon on program startup or after disconnect from IM server
Bopup Observer fixed another annoying issue with automatic logon to the communication server on startup or when an established connection with the server has been interrupted. Now the messenger tries to connect to the messaging server again and again using previously entered credentials within the next 1-2 mins as it should.

Many other improvements and changes
Many unused menu items were removed from popup menu shown in System tray area and there is no confirmation message on program exit. New version of the observer operates smoother and better.

Improvement of Bopup Communication Server

We released new version 5.2.7 of our IM server that added some useful updates and improvements.

Now it is possible to select and remove multiple messaging groups in the server console similar to selection of several user accounts.

Another improvement is about the export message archive to text files. We were reported by our customers that there was a reverse order of the messages and file transfers in a text file in comparison with displaying the same data in the Management Console. Now saving selected conversations and transfers occurs in same order as they are visible in the history views.

Another bugfix relates to SDK clients written on C/C++, C# and/or VB.NET languages. We found out that custom IM clients may hang up on establishing connection to the IM server if the server has a uploaded branding logo image. We fixed that issue so the clients built using the SDK should operate correctly now.

Fixed connectivity issues to evaluation server running at Bopup.me

We discovered connectivity issues to Bopup.me evaluation server that occurred around one month ago. Even the domain name and website browsed successfully messaging clients for Android and Windows PC could not connect to the IM server.

Now all the issues are fixed and the evaluation instance of Bopup Communication Server is ready to accept connections by using test user accounts.

Tips & Tricks: How to build projects using Bopup IM Client SDK and Visual Studio C#

Bopup IM Client SDK is a COM library that can be used by C++, Visual Basic .NET and VBA (Microsoft Office) developers incliding programmers in C# language.

But last ones face with a strange exception by calling EnumXXX methods of IServerClientVB class of SDK. Those methods accepts Arrays as parameters (System.Array) that are marshalled to SAFEARRAY objects in the COM. Calling these methods fails with the exception

System.ArgumentException: The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG)) 
System.StubHelpers.MngdSafeArrayMarshaler.ConvertSpaceToNative

The resolution is pretty simple and easy. It requires to enable the "Make assembly COM-visible" option in the project settings. Click Project menu and choose Properties... Then click "Assembly information..." button in Application section. The required checkbox is there. Click OK to confirm changes and then save project settings.

Available pricing for rebranding feature

Pricing for IM client rebranding feature is now available and the service is offered for purchase. The rebranding function allows to remove Bopup brand from IM client applications and replace it within a custom brand name. This lets get the messengers branded to customer's company name, for example to name the software as Clinic Messenger or My Office Messenger.

Branding client messengers from the server console

Pricing for the Rebrand functionality is based on annual subscription and it depends on a number of connections supported by IM server license so it is an extra fee for $10 US per each messenger connection. For example, for 10 connections the rebrand function costs additional $100 per year (10 x $10), and for 25 messengers the subscription costs $250, and etc.

The Rebrand function is not mandatory and it is offered as extra service for additional cost. Customers even they did not purchase the Rebrand service are still able to use standard built-in functionality to place and display company logo in the messenger clients with a custom URL.

We also added pricing for the Rebrand service to our calculation form on the website at https://www.bopup.com/order/#calculator where the "Include Rebrand feature" checkbox is now available.

Our websites have been moved to HTTPS

HTTPS encryption protects the channel between your browser and the website you’re visiting, ensuring no one in the middle can tamper with the traffic or spy on what you’re doing. Without that encryption, someone with access to your router or ISP could intercept information sent to websites or inject malware into otherwise legitimate pages.

Starting from July 2018 the popular Chrome web browser will mark all HTTP sites as insecure that may cause "trust" issues for visitors even a website works correctly and does not violate user's privacy.

No any changes come to end-users. They all will be able to browse our websites and download links using previous names. Web browsers now automatically forward to HTTPS address.

Messenger for Android added Contact search function

New version 1.3.3 of Bopup Messenger for Android platform added Contact search function and options to sort users in Contact List.

The Contacts search field is shown above the contacts and typing first letters instantly displays users whose names start with typed symbols.

A similar functionality is available in the Organize Contact List dialog.

New version is also added option to sort shown contacts by their first, last or account names. Only online contacts can be also shown. New options are available in the Settings screen under Contacts section.

Bopup Messenger update. Version 7.0.2 is available

We discovered that starting from new version 7.0 of Bopup Messenger stopped a delivery of typing notification to a remote recipient when an outgoing message is typing in conversation dialog. It depended on a typing sound function that we removed in recent releases of the application, so we disabled that function too by a mistake.

We recommend to update the software to version 7.0.2 in order to avoid missing "User is typing..." event shown in the conversation dialog while IM exchange occurs.

IM server and messenger client updates

Here are small updates of Bopup Communication Server and Bopup Messenger software available. Both products added possibility to select text in Message History interface.

So it is possible now to select and copy text directly from Preview area under Archiving & Logging views and everywhere in the server console app.

We believe that new additions will be useful to our customers.

New versions also include with minor bugfixes that improve and make the software product much stable.
