Release Date: 27-JAN-2026
GP Versions: 12/14/16/18
Preactor Integration Build: 2.23
* Version Checking: Complete re-architecture of the process that checks for product updates. In addition to providing more flexibility in assigning who receives update notifications, these changes may also improve log-in time by reducing unnecessary web queries to retrieve current version information. Key changes: (1) The current build numbers for all products are retrieved at once and stored in the system database so it can be referenced by all installed WilloWare products without needing to retrieve per product. (2) A new Security Role called WILLOWAREUPDATES is created and all POWERUSERS are given the new role. This will allow removing users who do not need to see update notifications and adding additional users who should. The update notices were previously tied to SA, DYNSA and POWERUSER. (3) The notification window gives the user an option to snooze notifications for a new build by 1-week, 1-month or “Again” which pauses notifications until there is another new build. (4) The notification window gives users the ability to Opt Out, which removes the WILLOWAREUPDATES Role from their User ID.
* FULL PROCESS INSTALLATION REQUIRED: The updates are backwards compatible to all versions of GP from 2013 up.
