R218B1 9 June 2010

* Bugfix - could not convert PDFs/TIFs that had spaces in their names
* New - drug search on RxNorm lookup

R218B2 14 June 2010

* Bugfix - could not convert PDFs/TIFs that had spaces in their names
* New - switching to trialling async http downloads from S3

Typically downloading a largish file from S3 would disconnect the client ( using blocking http would prevent Synapse responding to the async connections ) so switching to async http. This gives us the benefit of a download progress meter.

R218B3 20 June 2010

*New - the requests print dialog now allows you to suppress diagnoses and/or medications if present in your standard template
*New - Reports/Batch Print allows you to filter the results and export to Excel

Assuming that you fax out all your letters, then this allows you to see which letters have not been finalised yet.

R218B4 20 June 2010

New - Experimental - Acroforms now load up in the Acrobat Reader and not the Acrobat Plugin. You will now see lots of security requesters for each PDF when used for the first time.
New - [Fax Original] button on the Image Viewere.

R218B5 20 June 2010

New - Improved resilience to temporary network disconnections

If the Synapse client loses the network connection, it will try to reconnect 5x before it gives an error message. After fixing your internet or network, you answer No, and it will try to reconnect again without restarting the client.

R218B6 27 June 2010

New - Allows to report on ticklers for all staff

R218B7 1 July 2010

Bugfix - faxing from the imageviewer would crash the server!

R218B8 10 July 2010

New - local and wan fax server addresses instead of a single fax server address
New - changed the layout a little for HL7 import to make things clearer when editing a file

The point of having two fax addresses is that normally you can not access the internet or WAN fax address if you're on the same network as the fax server. So, you had to change to use the LAN address.

Now if you configure both correctly, Synapse client on startup will try and determine which is the correct address to use. It will check the WAN address first, and if that fails will drop back to the LAN address.

If you switch to the Fax tab, an arrow will show you which one has been selected.

R218B16 22 Aug 2010

New - A prototype RxTerms lookup option ( additional to NZ, FDA, and RxNorm ) - note that there is a bug in the applet which requires you to enter a search term by first using the backspace to reset the field
Bugfix - macroexpansion not matching when macros saved with hidden characters.
New - a [surgery] shortcut button on the consult editor
New - if the client disconnects, it no longer quits retrying to connect. It will try every minute .. this is so that the client can continue to run a daemon such as a HL7 import even if there is a temporary loss of connection
New - a [File ALL] button clear the Inbox of all HL7 files
Bugfix - large HL7 files ( > 6kb ) would cause the client to lose server connection. These messages are now split.

NB: it takes a few minutes to download the Db for RxTerms and then setup the data structures.

R218B17 23 Aug 2010

New - the [S'bill] button at the top of the consult editor can now be used to display the Superbill history. Currently it's unformatted - and shows the raw message that is sent to your PMS.
