What may be the FINAL GoldMine 6.7 update patch was released yesterday. This is the first GoldMine 6.x patch in about two years.

Castell Computers is not currently recommending that users install this patch as there are a number of known bugs in it. FrontRange is working on yet another 6.7 patch, to be announced.

Fixes include:

1. New: GoldMine 6.7 is now compatible with Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.
2. New: The GoldMine link for Microsoft Word has been updated to version 6.7.216. No details on what, exactly, is fixed in it.
3. New: GoldSync now can support All User synchronization, bypassing the selected Users’ calendar. This applies only to Microsoft SQL Server databases.
   Requires the following GoldSync.INI setting:
   [GoldSync]
   AllUsersForFilteredRecs=1 (default is 0 – off)
4. Fixed: Issue where existing database tables could be deleted if database connectivity was lost after logging in.
5. Fixed: SQL queries have been optimized to minimize issues where blocking could occur by relinking, deleting, or sending an e-mail, completing a multiple user activity, or synchronizing with a Palm device.
6. Fixed: Issue where online help was not displayed on workstations.
7. Fixed: Issue where tagging a record and then printing a report caused all records in the Contact Search Center to become tagged.
8. Fixed: Issue where outgoing e-mail messages were inaccessible after the contact record is deleted. E-mail messages now are retained when a contact is deleted.
9. Fixed: Issue where deactivating the GoldMine E-Mail option did not disable adding GoldMine E-mail accounts to distribution lists.
10. Fixed: Issue where a deletion filter was ignored when a non-master user synchronized and record curtaining was in use.
11. Fixed: Issue in which right-clicking to complete a recurring multi-user activity followed closely by a recurring single-user activity may result in the improper completion of all activities.
12. Fixed: Slow calendar display response with Events.
13. Fixed: XML validation error when importing special characters.
14. Fixed: iCalendar import issue where updating exceptions on a recurring activity series would fail.
15. Fixed: Incorrect date assigned to imported calendar and history items.

In the mean time, there are some interesting things to note about this update:

1. You DO NOT need to have current UPP to update to this version. You only need to be on an older version of 6.7 already.
2. This update will synchronize with earlier version(s) of 6.7 without missing a beat. Of course, it’s always a good idea to be on the exact SAME version on all remotes and servers.
3. The release notes, EULA and Firebird client (for E licenses) are placed in c:\program files\goldmine\, regardless of your installation choices.

Guess it’s time to take a look at IE7? 🙂
