New Features in Version 20.1

Below is an overview of the latest feature introductions with version 20.1.

Message Classification Test Harness

Following the introduction of Message Classification in 19.8, a test harness has been added in this release. The Management Center features a new sub-page under 'Classification Configuration' in which an XML file is provided, configured with attribute tests, which can be run and returns test results.

Focus Conversation View

A new button has been added to the active conversation header to focus the open IM, Multiparty or chatroom conversation. Clicking the button while the dock and/or LiveStream is open will collapse them, focusing on the active conversation. If all panes have been manually collapsed the focus view icon will toggle to allow all panes to be expanded, quickly bringing the dock and LiveStream into view.

Automatic translation of existing messages

This version introduces changes to how the automatic translation preference registers messages, no longer limiting functionality to messages loaded after enabling automatic translation. In version 20.1, enabling automatic translation will translate messages already loaded into the conversation as well as any new incoming messages.

Enterprise license

Release version 20.1 adds support for a new licencing format for enterprise deployments, providing confidence in service uptime during expansion and upscaling of enterprise capacity. Ensuring growth in users does not cause service downtime, the licencing enables the service to continue allowing authentication requests when reaching capacity, logging warnings that capacity has been reached rather than disrupting the service.
