Moorgate 1.4.855.951 is available

Moorgate 1.4.855.951 is available for download from the Twenty57 website. It is the first version on .Net Framework 4 so please take note of the install instructions below. But with all install enhancements we have done I guarantee that it will be the easiest "Clean Install Upgrade" you have ever done.

New Features:

• .net Framework 4
• Clean Install now supports Windows Authentication
• Test Db Connection when installing. NB. On a clean install we only test the server and connection to the Master Db since at this stage we don't yet know if the database exists and must be updated or if it needs to be created. On Upgrade we test the entire connection. We can't stop you proceeding if it fails (yet) but you will get a warning that you have to dismiss to continue.
• Import definition performance improvements for large volumes of Data
• Standard Report Captured Confirmations Updated
• Include External Fund Code in the Account Selector ribbon
• Include External Fund Code in the Account Selector pop-up
• Allow the Account Selector pop-up to move in order to see long static data lists more easily

Bug Fixes

• Finswitch Import creating Opening and Closing Balance Records in the External Table
• Manual Recon Screen: Loading Internal Transactions into the Matched Section when the Last Tag and Last Tag Type columns are visible error
• dd/MM/yyyy format issue with days less than 13

.Net Framework 4 Install instructions

A clean install is much simpler but if for some reason you can't/don't want to do one let me know and I will provide you with the necessary config file changes. With all the msi enhancements though a clean install takes seconds!

1. Uninstall your existing version of Moorgate
2. Delete all the sub folders in your parent Moorgate directory (eg C:\Program Files\Twenty57 Moorgate)
3. Run the msi for build 1.4.851.945
4. Specify your install path. Default is C:\Program Files\Twenty57 Moorgate
5. Select all options except the Virtual Directory. Yes, you can now upgrade the Database in a clean install
6. Enter your Database credentials. Remember we can only check the server connection and that the credentials can log into the Master Db in clean install mode. 
7. Choose your authentication method and specify the user.
8. Click Finish and complete the install.
9. On your existing Virtual Directory change the Framework version from 2.0.50727 to 4.0.30319. In IIS7 and above you do this on the application pool and in IIS6 you change it on the Virtual Directory itself.

And Voila! you are done. The Database will be updated and your config files will have the right values. No need to run the database updater or edit your config files in anyway. 

Many thanks to Jai and the team for the fantastic install changes made (and everything else). We are busy adding some more Standard Reports as well as including some of the small feature requests.
