Archive Operating System (AOS 6.11) Updates
The 6.11 AOS release includes many small fixes and enhancements. It does not have a central area of focus. For details, please read the full release notes below.
New Features
Feature Enhancements
- The Email Activity page now shows a calendar widget to make the date input selection easier.
- Email exports are now allowed from a machine whose software maintenance subscription has expired, as long as it is transferring to a machine that is currently subscribed.
- Users are now allowed to specify their own port number for Outgoing SMTP traffic. The port is no longer hardcoded to 25.
- Better user-facing messages for Outgoing SMTP failures have been added.
- Multi-page edit forms (such as the user editing forms) now give a visual indication of which page (out of the available pages) the user is on.
- More expiration timing options have been added to forced password renewal.
- A help page for the conversation feature has been added..
- There is better form validation on conversation export. Additional checks have been added to ensure emails are found between the specified dates in the conversation before starting an export.
- All tag columns and drop-downs have been alphabetized.
- Reduced excess space consumed on standby machines for storage of search indices.
- Standardized the use of the “data retention” feature name. References to “data purge” or “data aging” have been changed.
