BrailleNote mPower Upgrade Build 29
As we continue to work towards the next major release of KeySoft scheduled for Fall 2008, we have just completed some foundational revisions to the mPower KeySoft application. These revisions are now incorporated in our current mPower production as KeySoft 7.5 Build 29, and we are pleased to be able to make these available to all version 7.5 mPower users. Build 29 contains 4 user improvements:
1. mPower now supports Wi-Fi 802.11 g protocol: A driver has been included to support the later model Ambicom WL54G WiFi card. This card is more readily available than the currently supported Ambicom WL1100C. The US Robotics Wireless MAXg USB Adapter USR5421 is also supported.2. Appointment Scheduling: The error associated with scheduling an appointment to a date other than the current day has been fixed. This previously generated an error saying that the entered date needed to be after 1601.
3. USB Device Identification: The problem causing some USB and CD_ROM drives to be incorrectly identified as Printers has been corrected.
4. Words Added to Spelling Dictionary: Depending on the choice of Braille table, words added to the spell checker were not being retained, so appeared as spelling errors on future spell checks. This has been corrected.
We encourage existing mPower KeySoft 7.5 Users to take advantage of these interim improvements as the Development Team continues working on implementing the exciting new features of the Fall 2008 release. Note that if you are upgrading from an earlier build of KeySoft 7.5 you do not have to download and install the 7.5 Product Key. Similarly, if you have previously upgraded the Bootloader, you do not have to download and install this. The only file required is the "KeySoft mPower Download".
