X1 Professional Client - Raptor Beta 3

X1 ® Professional Client Raptor Beta 3
(Build 3964) (Created: Tue Dec 15 15:01:24 PST 2009)


We are pleased to announce the release of the Raptor Beta 3 and would really like everyone to give it a try and let us know how it works out for you. We have done a lot with the Raptor set of releases to improve performance, reliability, and smoothness of the interaction. While we would be curious to know how you think this performs with regard to 6.2.4 (currently available on the website), we are most curious to hear how this performs relative to the 6.6.5 version (currently available on the forum).

Some things you should try out:

• General searching and look for responsiveness of the results pane
• Multiple term searching
• Sorting results by multiple columns or reversing sort order on a given column
• Switching tabs
• Test Outlook Real Time Indexing (on all your folders now)

NOTE: Installing this build requires that .NET 3.0 or higher be installed on your computer. Here is the link to the latest .NET 3.5 SP1:

Note:Raptor Beta 3 will function until December 22, 2009, at which time we hope to have a new build available.


**Important Considerations**
- KNOWN DOWNGRADE ISSUE: Downgrading from X1 Professional Client Raptor to 6.2.x (or lower) while saving settings will cause issues in the X1 index that prevent the application from launching. If you plan to downgrade from X1 Professional Client Raptor, uninstall the X1 client WITHOUT saving settings.
- Remember that we always advise that you uninstall any currently installed version of X1, without saving your settings/preferences, before installing any beta build
- Please restrict all comments regarding this release to this section of the forum
- Any user upgrading from 5.5.5 or previous will be required to rebuild their index files.
