InTouch Release Notes_Version 2.4.27.png

Fixed Issues:

  • Unable to Uninstall InTouch after Repair. If a user installs InTouch, Repairs it using the installer option and then uninstalls InTouch using the control panel option, an error would occur. This problem has been fixed.
  • Auto-Updates option disabled after user enabled it. After enabling the auto-updates option, it would disable on its own. That problem has been fixed.

InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.4.2

Fixed Issues:

  • The inTouch latest version (2.4.0) was not able to update FARO applications that require admin privileges. The problem is fixed in release 2.4.2.

InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.4.0

What’s new:

  • The InTouch App has a new display of the installed FARO applications, with a green line on the top margin of the tile:
    InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.4.0_Fig.5.png
  • New error indicator - When an InTouch user is trying to make an operation on the InTouch app but the operation fails, a new error indicator is displayed on top of the tile. The error is clickable, and it opens a pop-up window with detailed information about the problem and the next steps to solve it, including a “Retry Button”. The new error indicator is compatible with the previous failure system

    InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.4.0_Fig.3.png
  • The InTouch feature to “Collect support files” now exports Event Viewer data with ".evtx" extension
  • The InTouch app has a new filter button, that allows customers to only display on the InTouch catalog the applications they have installed. The view of all applications or only installed ones can be changed, and the option selected is persistent even after quitting InTouch
    InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.4.0_Fig.2.png
  • These new features are translated into 11 languages
  • The Services of the applications (ex. InTouch, Licensing Service, RPM Control Server) present in InTouch can now be manually restarted if they stopped running for some reason:

  • More detail about the errors is also available now on the InTouch installer.
  • Auto-Update routine now prioritizes InTouch update, when more than one app has updates available. 
  • In this version of the InTouch App 4 tiles in a row are displayed instead of 3.
  • InTouch version 2.4.0 has the commercial version 2023.

Fixed Issues:

  • The option to “Rollback” to the previously installed version of a given application was not being correctly displayed. Now, if a customer cancels an installation/update at a later stage of the progress (i.e. at the staging stage of the installation), or if it fails for any reason, he will see the option to “Rollback” to the previously installed version.

  • InTouch Server was recurrently offline. This problem has been fixed.

    • If the Mosquitto MQTT service stops for some reason, the InTouch Service will restart the Mosquitto MQTT after a few seconds
