WebCrossing Server update with stability fixes and other changes

This is a pretty important new release and we encourage all our self-hosted sites, particular larger, highly active sites, to upgrade.

The most important changes are stability fixes to avoid potential issues of lost http connectivity for extremely active sites. While the problem only affected one customer as far as we know, it’s definitely a good time to upgrade, even if only for this.

Other changes are a modification of the Export User Groups panel which changes the method of cloning User Groups, and a new option which lets sites automatically clear their small object heap (SOH) cache and database disk cache daily. This latter change, also only needed at one site as far as we know, keeps such sites running blazingly fast without worrying about creeping site performance issues which otherwise might require manual memory resets.

Anyway, you can see it’s an important release, and we particularly encourage larger, highly active self-hosted sites to upgrade. We will make sure sites hosted by us are upgraded as needed.

The latest release version is now WebCrossing 6.4-1332 2017-08-14.

All self-hosted customers with valid support and maintenance contracts can download this new version at no cost.

If you are running a self-hosted site we recommend upgrading your WebCrossing server to this new build. If you are a self-hosted customer and have a valid support and maintenance contract, please contact support for access to the new server. If your support and maintenance contract has expired, please contact us to renew so we can provide you with this important update.
