Review Loupe 3.7 Notes

Since this is an update release you should read Getting Started - What's New - Version 3.7 for a more complete picture of the new capabilities since version 3.0.

Server Scalability Improvements

This release includes a number of performance oriented changes to the Loupe Server to reduce file IO requests and database load.  These changes will provide the biggest gain for repositories where individual remote computers submit many sessions and for Enterprise Edition where a network file system is used.

Active Directory Integration Improvements

The server AD integration added in Loupe 3.7 has been modified to make fewer assumptions about the validity of data in Active Directory and be more aggressive about trying alternate forms of user identities to make it easier to authenticate using alternate forms of your user name.
