We have a new beta (5) of Daylite 3.15, DMI 2.8 and Daylite Server 3.15 that works on Lion.

Changes since Beta 4:

• Fixed an important issue with offline databases. If you are on Lion and have been using 3.14 or any of the previous 3.15 betas, you must recreate your offline database (we force you to do so)! If you have a large database, please allocate the appropriate amount of time for this. After further investigation, we determined this is no longer necessary; if you have any offlines, wait until the next release (either next beta or final GM) before updating.
  
• Conversation view support removed. We've removed support for the conversation view in Mail for DMI. We could not reliably determine the selection when applying the automatic rules. In Mail, you can opt to disable "Organize by Conversation" or choose to "Expand all Conversations" to handle the emails individually. Both of the these options are in the View menu in Mail.

UPGRADE PROCEDURE FOR THIS BETA:
[Update: if you have any offlines, we suggest waiting until the next beta/GM release before upgrading to avoid having to recreate your offlines]
You will need to upgrade both Daylite Server and all Daylite clients for this beta (and Daylite Delivery if you use it).

• Take any existing offline databases back online
  
• Install the new build of Daylite Server on your server machine, and update the database(s)
  
• Install the new build of Daylite on the client machines.
  

Upon login with beta 5, you will be notified that your offline needs to be recreated (if you had one); any changes from an offline that need to be transferred will be done so at this point (NOTE: this step can take some time - you should also allocate time for this). You will then need to recreate your offline.



Download:
Daylite 3.15 & DMI 2.8
DMI 2.8 Standalone installer
Daylite Server 3.15
Daylite Delivery 1.6.3

We hope this is the last beta.

Thanks!


NOTE: The Daylite installer includes DMI. Please restart the Mail application after installing Daylite. Beta 1 to beta 4 users can simply install over their existing Daylite installation. New Lion users can simply install beta 5, there is no need to have beta 4 to beta 1 installed first.

Does this latest beta client require us to update server version which is still running 3.14 under Mac OS X 10.6?

We get the enclosed message when attempting to log in to database...

Yes, both server and client machines must be updated to the new versions of Daylite Server and Daylite, respectively.

Hello Sebastien

Thanks for prompt reply, just wanted to make sure as this is contrary to Sean M's advice with b4...

A query from a trial user...

I'm about to go and purchase the boxed program (I like to have tangible things !) and curious about this beta that's floating around. Will the licence number of my boxed version (3.14 I'd assume) work with the betas ? I currently have 2 Macs on Lion, of which one will likely take Daylite.

Also, if I'm moving through the betas until the final release (which seems to be pretty soon anyway), when the final one comes out, will it be a free upgrade ?

Any 3.x license (including ones from the boxed version) will work with the beta, and the final release will be free of charge.

I suggest you download and install the beta from the links above instead of installing from the boxed version.

The boxed copy in Australia has Daylite 3.10 or 3.11 in it. The boxed copy also does not contain DMI.

Having said that, the license will work fine and the upgrade from beta to final is free.

With the advent of the Mac App Store and the fact that Apple is reducing boxed software shelf space, we are phasing out boxed copies altogether.

Do the betas act as trial versions until they've got licence numbers in it ? I assume that the box really only contains the CD and serial number, that's what I'm buying ?

Ah AJ thanks for clearing that up. When you say the DMI isn't included in the box version, are you alluding to the fact that a downloaded version does ?

Are there plans to put it on the App Store soon ?

Online, Daylite is available in two versions. The regular Daylite is the same as the boxed copy. Daylite Productivity Suite is Daylite combined with Daylite Mail Integration.

You can purchase the boxed copy, upgrade it to 3.15 and purchase Daylite Mail Integration online but you'd be better off to just purchase Daylite Productivity Suite from the online store. In North American pricing, there is a $10 savings if you purchase Daylite Productivity Suite.

Just downloaded the latest betas of Daylite and Daylite Server. WOW! Back to speed again. I thought that the 'spinning beach ball' was with me for evermore - but its gone. Thanks guys.

I am having all sorts of problems. It would not let me install without deleting my offline database. I then was able to install and it took a long time to verify data in the offline. It then came back with "failed to verify offline". Now I can't log into my shared database either. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: Second times a charm!

OK...so I got everything working again, except for DMI.

I am having issues with DMI where a contact is clearly in Daylite, but for some reason some of my contacts wont show up, it shows that the contact is not in Daylite and when I add it, it doesn't do anything. Any thoughts?

My server is running 10.6.8 and I can't upgrade it for a while longer because of compatibility of other software. My laptop is running lion and is having syncing issues. If I install the beta server software on a machine that doesn't have lion and the beta on the laptop with lion, is this going to work? Thanks in advance.

@Brett. 3.15 Beta 5 server and client should run fine on 10.6.8.

Anyone else having Ethan's DMI issue?

Thanks.
