Compatibility

Loupe 3.5.6 is backwards compatible with 3.0 and has the same constraints as 3.0 when working with older versions:

• Agent: Compatible with Server & Desktop versions 3.0 and later.
• Server: Fully backwards compatible with older Agents and Loupe Desktops, any version.
• Desktop: Compatible with Server versions 3.0 and later.  Compatible with any version of Agent.

Agent Side by Side Compatibility

You can mix older and newer agents on the same computer, however they will be unaware of each other and will not coordinate when sending to hub, packaging, or auto send consent.  When upgrading any unsent sessions recorded by a 2.x agent will not be transferred by the newer agent.

New Features In This Release

Compatible with SQL Azure

Loupe Server can now use SQL Azure as the database, allowing it to be hosted on an Azure Windows Virtual Machine (VM) running against a SQL Azure database. 

Notification Emails Include Latest Session Information

Additional session information about the most recent occurrence of any application event or issue has been incorporated into the notification emails so you can see the environment, promotion level, and computer without having to review the instance online.
