Collanos Workplace 1.3.0.4 - Release Notes

[Franco Dal Molin]

Today we have released a small maintenance patch that fixes a memory problem that could happen in some circumstances.

For instance, during intensive content replication situations, the internal Java memory management (so called Heap memory) would not be cleaned out properly from old transport-route related information, and would gradually fill up, which would in turn lead to slow response or stalled situations. Again, this would occur only occasionally for users with many active members and ongoing replication processes.

This patch fixes this problem. The patch is being provided via the auto-update mechanism. Existing users simply need to restart Collanos Workplace to trigger the automatic update process.

Note for Vista users: On a Windows Vista with the UAC (User Access Control) activated, if Workplace is installed in Program Files, the software update does not work unless you start Workplace with the 'Run as administrator' option.

As for Vista a similar note for Linux users:
If Collanos has been installed with the root-user (e.g. in the folder /opt/CollanosWorkplace), the automatic update functionality is not working when Collanos is started as normal user due to missing write permissions for this user.

To fix the automatic update, change the owner of the Collanos folder to the user working with Collanos with this command:
sudo chown -R {username}. /opt/CollanosWorkplace/
