Courier v0.5.16 (beta)

A Beta build on top of 0.5.14: the all clear reaches everyone who saw a Priority notice.

Improved

  • The all clear also reaches people who already acknowledged the Priority notice, while the notice is still live: it shows on the computer where they acknowledged it, as soon as they are there. Results says how many computers showed it.
  • The all clear window has a green ALL CLEAR band, the counterpart of the Priority notice's red one.
  • The formatting buttons explain themselves: hover over one to see the code it adds, for example "Bold: puts two asterisks each side of the words".
  • This build includes RSJ Agent 0.8.40, which the all clear changes need; Courier offers it to your computers.

Download

File Description
CourierSetup.exe The whole Courier server -- install it on the Windows Server that will run Courier. The Courier module for your PCs is inside it and is handed to each PC by your own server. The RSJ Agent that runs the module on each PC is a separate install.

The two Source code links GitHub adds to every release hold only this repository's README and security policy, not the product.

About the beta

A beta build is newer than the public release, for trying new features before they reach everyone. It is tested by RSJ Software
but may still have rough edges. Install it over an existing Courier: your accounts, history and settings are kept.

To be offered betas, choose Beta under Settings -> Updates -> Update channel; you are also offered every public release as it
comes out. Tick Allow automatic updates there too if you want them installed without asking. To leave, choose Stable:
nothing older is ever installed, and the next public release arrives once it is newer than the beta you have.

What to expect when installing

Run the installer on the Windows Server that hosts Courier; it asks for administrator approval. The installer should name
RSJ Software Ltd as its publisher. If the publisher shows as unknown, do not run it -- tell us in an Issue on the main
repository. Take a copy of Courier's data folder first, with the Courier service stopped, as you would before any upgrade.
