9.4 Overview

The entire 9.x branch has been well-received by users; and as IceWarp makes its way toward version 10, due to release in early 2009, we're certain you'll be happy with what 9.4 has to deliver.

Principally, the quick and simple version 9.4 upgrade offers

• an improved SMS Server
• a better SIP Server
• a new ILA engine with support for clustered configuration

The SMS Server, SIP Server and Log Analyzer were recently in technological preview and were received very well by customers. We've now revisited them, and have further improved both the design and functionality of each. In addition, IceWarp's engineers have fixed some minor issues.

The result: SMS, SIP and Log Analyzer are now fully licensed and will be available for purchase on January 1, 2009. SIP was previously licensed, but has been radically improved and now works much better with most SIP gateways and under various network architectures.

In total, IceWarp Server version 9.4 includes 200 fixes and improvements:

• 46 bug fixes for WebMail Pro
• 12 bug fixes for WebAdmin
• 61 lines on Server Core changelog
• 39 improvements in the SMS engine
• 16 improvements in the SIP engine
• 26 improvements in Log Analyzer

Again, IceWarp engineers have brought you exactly 200 fixes and improvements in version 9.4.
