10/21/2004
Version 5.0.2 has been released. The new version of KioWare includes:
- An improved Configuration Tool that makes it very easy to read/write XML configuration files.
- Addition of page level filtering to the existing domain level filtering thus enabling defined pages for a given domain to be allowed or disallowed for viewing
- Ability to prevent files that the browser doesn't recognize from being downloaded to the PC.
- Ability to display an Address bar so that the user can navigate to any URL
- Ability to delete user cookies and IE cache upon session reset
- New and improved phone dialing features including support for embedded HTML dialing tags and customized phone progress dialog messages.
- Support for a second monitor - a perfect feature for digital signage applications.
- Remote monitoring - so that you can easily determine whether a kiosk is healthy or sick. It performs this by sending regular heartbeat messages to KioWare Server that includes approximately 30 system parameters, sending urgent messages such as when a printer is low on paper, and also sending application event log entries
- KioWare Server has been completely revamped with a brand new user interface that makes it much easier to scale from small to large kiosk projects and also includes remote monitoring support.
