Misc bug fixes, most notably the Reporting button that generates the Info_Report.txt file was broken a release or two ago and did some funky stuff especially if you chose to copy it to Support.  Sorry about that!

First, with v4.8.8 just released, I am fixing a bug with my encryption/decryption method of storing your email password, that was introduced in v4.8.5 – if your email actions within D7 quit working at v4.8.5 then this was the culprit.  Regardless, with the v4.8.8 update you will be prompted to confirm your stored email password is correct before it is re-encrypted with my new encryption routine.  If you were affected by this, sorry about that!!!

D7 v4.8.6 has been in Pre-Release for several days… I am about to upload the full release version, but just thought I’d let you all know that D7 versions will remain in Pre-Release a lot longer than they used to.

I’ve received many requests for the ability to custom brand D7 with your own company name and logo, for a more professional look when your customers are within view. It seems that many who wish to use D7, do NOT want their customers watching them using 3rd party applications such as D7 to solve issues. Well now you can brand D7 as your own in-house application, so your customers see you using YOUR OWN company tool set, not […]

In D7 v4.7.9 (currently available only as a pre-release update) I’ve added a sweet new feature! D7 Locksmith – a function to remove passwords from offline Windows installations. What you do: You can either slave the HDD to your Tech Bench Computer, or boot the client’s PC to a WinPE based boot CD with D7 on your flash drive.   Run D7 Locksmith from the D7 > Offline tab, and click the Make Modifications button.
