• Caller ID from External number to a queue is now showing correctly
• DTMF problem in Rebound not playing call screening or disconnecting when pressing # or invalid dtmf presses
• IP addresses starting with 169 are now showing however they will show at the end of the list because they might be AIPPA addresses

• Issue in service starter taking long to start the services. (Fix will be applied on the next update)
• Several issues related to Call Reporter, call history updating and query functions in the database.
• Generation of reports when reports have over 500,000 calls. Reports with over 5000 pages will be slower but will also work
• Active directory import users function when Caller ID is blank and other issues related to winforms
• Database caching size to optimize speed of queries

Known issues

1. Call reporter might show time durations with a negative sign. This is a known issue caused by a bug in Version 8 and has been fixed in version 9. Unfortunately for the backups taken from version 8 we cannot fix this completely on restore because the data is already affected.
2. Call Reporter might remain for some time showing a message “Accessing Data” or “not responding”. This is because there are a lot of records and the database is busy with queries.  If you query a report with a lot of records (over 5000 pages) it is advisable to take a backup of these records by generating a report in csv or pdf format and delete the old records to clean up the database. The reports that are affected by this behaviour are “Call Logs Report” and “Call Statistics”. Eventually the report will be generated however.
