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

  • 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:
    InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.4.0_Fig.1.png
  • 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.

InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.3.0

What’s new:

  • BuildIT doesn't uninstall if its server is running, the pop-up message has been improved in order to let the user know that the app and related services must be closed first:
    InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.3.0_Fig.1.png

    InTouch Release Notes – Version 2.3.0_Fig.5.png

  • Impossibility to uninstall the licensing service

    • If the Mosquitto MQTT service stops for some reason, the InTouch Service will restart the Mosquitto MQTT after a few seconds
    • If for some reason the Mosquitto MQTT needs to be uninstalled from the PC, its service (i.e. “Mosquitto Broker”) must be stopped first
    • If the Mosquitto MQTT was uninstalled from the PC (after stopping its service), then the REPAIR option of the InTouch SETUP will reinstall the Mosquitto MQTT. With that, it will be correctly installed and InTouch will start and run successfully again.

NOTE: If you update InTouch to version 1.5.2 and don’t need Erlang and RabbitMQ anymore, feel free to uninstall them from your PC.
