Ascendis Caller ID beta version 2.2.0.17 now available

Post by Bill Root »

Version 2.2.0.17 includes the following changes from the previous release:

- trap and report exceptions when rebuilding database
- implemented delete in Find Calls window (press the "DEL" key to delete a call)
- fixed problem with 'New Calls' count when deleting multiple calls from calls report with mixed 'New' status
- mark calls report dirty when 'New' is changed in a call
- added fixed width font checkbox to line monitor
- trap registry exceptions when "AttachedTo" registry entry for modem is the wrong data type (one user with a non-standard device reported this error)
- added limited PhoneSound support in direct mode. This has been tested mostly successfully in the following OS/modem configurations:
o Vista 64-bit with Zoom 3049C (best sound), Zoom 3095, and HiRO H50113 (driver v.2.1.88.0; sound usually not so good)
o Vista 32-bit with Zoom 3049C (best sound), Zoom 3095, and HiRO H50113 (driver v.2.1.88.0; sound usually not so good)
o Windows XP with Zoom 3049C (best sound), Zoom 3095, and HiRO H50113 (driver 2.1.70; sound poor)
o Windows 7 64-bit with Zoom 3049C (good sound), Zoom 3095, HiRO H50113 (driver v.2.2.98.0; good sound)
Notes:
- The HiRO H50113 is an external USB winmodem and seems pickier than the hardware Zoom modems. You may or may not have luck with it.
- If your modem can't play a particular sound file or ACID can't convert it to a compatible format, check the Line Monitor for a list of formats your modem supports (search for "ModemFormatID"; the list may be appear cryptic, but it contains the information you need to make an optimally compatible sound file). Use your favorite sound editor or Audacity, a free, open-source sound recorder and editor: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
- support filtering phone numbers from device to remove unwanted digits (such as outgoing line selection): To use, add a phone format rule (Options window, Format page) and include an 'F' in the position of the digit to remove. Be sure to make the conditions explicit so numbers that shouldn't be altered aren't (to remove a leading digit, you will probably need a "Length = n" condition AND a "Number starts with m" rule).
- phone number formats: detect changes to format conditions and rebuild phone records
- Line Monitor: give focus to memo when find panel is closed; added F3/Find Next command
- reopen modems configured for serial mode if "Prefer raw caller id" was changed in Options window (device properties)



Voice support in TAPI-bypass mode is the most significant change. It was done mainly to address Windows problems when playing sounds over modems with TAPI in Windows Vista and Windows 7. It won't work with all modems and won't sound optimal for all modems, but in testing it has worked well with the Zoom 3049C and Zoom 3095. If TAPI mode sounds better for your system, then please continue using it.


As always, bug reports and feedback are appreciated.
