What's new in Daylite 3.7.4?

Note: We strongly recommend that you upgrade all your computers to 3.7.4. Daylite 3.7.4 addresses a recently introduced bug that could cause data loss for some people who use offline databases.

New features:

  • Improve the look of your communications with our new merge capabilities. Merge Daylite data with your favorite templates from Pages, Numbers, and Keynote and send them off using Daylite.
  • Includes the Dialectic dialer plugin. This plugin allows you to reach your contacts with many more options such as Bluetooth mobile phones, CISCO IP phones, ViaTalk, and Vonage. Dialectic has excellent interaction with Daylite; the combination of Daylite, DayliteABMenu, and the Dialectic is very powerful.
  • Added the Daylite Concepts Guide. This guide helps new users understand the basic concepts of Daylite and provides a good foundation for getting started. For existing users, it shows how you can better apply Daylite's powerful features to your business and improve productivity.
  • Updated OpenBase to version 10.0.11 build 124 which introduces the following:
a. Better permissions management.
b. Addresses dynamic IP address network connection issues (improved network re-connection reliability).
c. Automatic fallback to a default backup directory when a user-defined backup directory is not writable.
d. Improved offline synchronization reliability.
  • Additional information for contacts—such as category, additional phone numbers, owner and more—is now displayed in the linked view and the Quick Find results pane.
  • Added Birthday and Anniversary to contact summary view and as column options.
  • Added Task Duration as a column option.
  • Added the ability to use the current time zone when you import calendar files that do not have a time zone defined.
  • The local time in the Appointment window is now displayed using the user's preferred display format.
  • Improved the resizing behavior of several edit windows.
  • Improved auto refresh of all the views following an online/offline sync.
  • Added the ability to select multiple items when adding products or services to an estimate.
  • We are more strict about the user's delete permissions in the Trash inspector.
  • Added task calls to Today's Call List report.
  • Task window date and time fields are now two separate input fields.
  • Removed the minimum margin size in the letter template editor.
  • Added discount field and discount total to estimate templates.
  • Added the ability to remember the last chosen template when creating estimates.
  • Added warning of any detected problems with automatic backups.
  • Backup reminder will be suppressed when automatic backup is configured for the database.
  • Added the ability to save logs to a file.
Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a record locked issue when merging a letter and sending to email client.
  • Fixed a bug where the default category was displayed in an email note instead of the chosen category from DMI after recording an email message.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause a crash when selecting a file for delimited data import.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented organizations from being exported to a vCard.
  • Fixed a bug where choosing a sample database would silently fail if OpenBase is not installed.
  • Fixed a potential crash while printing the Calendar.
  • Fixed an issue where the repeat setting of a repeating appointment could not be disabled while editing an occurrence of that appointment.
  • Fixed a bug where the relationships in a Contact Summary were sometimes not displayed.
  • Fixed a sorting bug in the Task and Group view.
  • Fixed a bug in which buttons would not update properly when adding additional phones to a contact.
  • Fixed a bug which prevented a margin size change in the letter template editor from being saved.
  • Fixed an issue when creating an estimate if the chosen save location no longer exists.
  • Fixed a bug where the Extra Field 1 column title was displayed blank.
  • Fixed a bug where a sheet could drop down below the visible area of the screen, thereby preventing access to its controls.
  • Fixed a bug where an appointment's reminder might not trigger at the correct time when enabled.
  • Fixed a potential crash when switching calendar views.
  • Fixed a locking issue when editing the preferences.
  • Fixed a bug where the save path was used as the filename while saving extracted attachments from notes.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause a crash while stripping or archiving attachments.
  • Fixed a bug that caused certain merged documents to be output backwards and flipped when being sent to an email client or printed.
Database and schema: There is no change in schema version between 3.7, 3.7.1, 3.7.2, 3.7.3 and 3.7.4. Daylite 3.7.4 includes the new OpenBase version 10.0.11 build 124. All computers must be upgraded to the same version of Daylite (in this case, 3.7.4). There is no need to sync the offline databases before the upgrade.

Daylite 3.7.4 is a free upgrade for all Daylite 3 users. Daylite Productivity Suite 3.7.4 is a free upgrade for all Daylite Productivity Suite 3 users.
