What's new in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.56.1.2
Feb 28, 2020
- Fixed bug causing some settings to be lost
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.55.7.1 (Feb 28, 2020)

New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.55.6.1 (Feb 28, 2020)
- Fixed a couple of Express Setup issues when using with faxage or srfax
- Fixed a bug in the “Restart database server” functionality (under Utilities menu item)
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.55.5.1 (Dec 12, 2019)
- Introduced new menu item under “Help” on main menu – “Store Client Software License”. Use this to store the snappy fax client license in the fax server’s database. Once you do this there will be no reason the you should need to apply the client license to any snappy fax clients on the network, it will retrieve the license automatically. This is a huge timesaver for a network configuration with many, many clients installed.
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.55.3.1 (Sep 26, 2019)
- Added a migrator module to assist user in moving snappy fax to another computer. The migrator can be accessed from a new button “Move to another computer” from the Utilities ribbon tab. The migrator will create a migration file (zip format) which will contain all configuration information and data files. Once this file is created, it can be copied to the new computer and then the migrator can be run on the new computer to establish the data files and configuration information there. Important: The migrator does not process any external files saved in .pdf or .tiff format to folders specified in your snappy fax settings-fax file saving options. These files are managed by the user exclusively, if you need to move those files you can do so manually.
- When changing snappy fax’s configuration from use fax server or not use fax server, a restart is no longer required.
- Added a new button on the horizontal toolbar beneath the image area on the image viewer tab, “Open with Associated Windows Application”. This is handy if you want to open the .tif file in the viewer in the default windows application for handling .tif files.
- The options to keep transmission logs is now separated for incoming and outgoing faxes. If you normally don’t experience transmission failures, you can set the options to ‘No Transmission Log’ to save disk space and processing time.
- When a page was cut from the image viewer, the update database image button was not enabled as it should be. Fixed.
- Deleted the FaceBook and Twitter buttons, in reality, there is no need for these
- Other minor bug fixes and tweaks.
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.55.2.1 (Jul 31, 2019)
- Mixed resolution incoming faxes are now converted correctly. A mixed resolution fax previously would result in a tif image that looked “squished”.

New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.55.1.1 (Jul 31, 2019)
- Fixed issue with SRFax.com authentication
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.54.1.1 (Jun 27, 2019)
- This new “feature” was driven by a customer request. The customer had a “cloud” server in another country to which he wanted to save his external fax image files over a VPN, which requires the internet, of course. When a fax was received and a save attempt was made, if the internet connection was temporarily down the save failed. There was no provision to later save the item. The same scenario applies if a forwarding to email attempt was made. This called for a new “feature” to plug the hole. In this version a new data table is created to hold the failed items when the failure occurs. A background thread takes care of resolving the failed items when conditions permit (ie internet connection reestablished).
- In the past, fax resolution in the fax server has always been forced to high resolution, even if the user selected standard resolution. This was done for a number of reasons, none of which were entirely valid. Standard resolution is now allowed and supported as it should be.
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.53.3.1 (Jun 21, 2019)
- The option ‘Create Sub-folders by Modem’ when using FaxAge. The “folder” is named according to the FaxAge fax number. Useful when you have more than one fax number established with FaxAge.

New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.53.2.1 (Jun 21, 2019)

New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.53.1.1 (Jun 21, 2019)
- An outbox fax can now be resubmitted from the fax server itself. Previously, if a job needed to be resubmitted fo the fax server it had to be done from the client that submitted the job originally. There is a new button on the toolbar just above the outbox data grid for this.
- Fixed a problem in the iFaxThread where a pointer was referenced before it was fetched, leading to an Access Violation.
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.52.4.1 (Apr 10, 2019)
- New Feature: You can now resend a previously sent fax from the fax server directly. There is a new tool button on the toolbar above the outbox fax data grid to execute, you can select multiple entries in the grid to send more than one.

- Added Data Export button to pending jobs toolbar
- Minor bug fixes and cosmetic fixes
New in Snappy Fax Network Server 3.2.2.5 (Sep 23, 2011)
- Assigning outgoing fax jobs by client priority is now working properly, also the jobs will be assigned and transmitted in the order in which they were submitted within priority
- If the assignment of a fax job to a modem would result in two or modems dialing the same fax number at the same time, the job is deferred until it would not become a duplicate number. This will prevent the fax server from attempting to dial a fax number that must fail because one of its own other modems has that line tied up.

Note: this is somewhat experimental and may affect your image quality if you have a noisy phone line. The best resolution is to have your phone service provider clean up your noisy line condition.
