New Features in This Release

Microsoft Teams Support

Loupe Server can now send notifications to Microsoft Teams - so you can have posts show up in a Teams Channel whenever an issue is opened, a new error occurs, a crashed session is available or more.  This is a great way of giving your team insight into what's happening with your application without having to keep a browser logged into Loupe all day!  For more information, see Loupe Server - Notifications.

Google Hangouts Chat Support 

If your team uses Google Hangouts Chat you can have messages show up in a chat room whenever an issue is opened, a new error occurs, a crashed session is available or more.  This is a great way of giving your team insight into what's happening with your application without having to keep a browser logged into Loupe all day!  For more information, see Loupe Server - Notifications.

Full TLS 1.2 Support

Updates to Loupe Server, Desktop & Agent extend TLS 1.2 support to cover both web traffic between the components and Live Sessions which previously would not use anything higher than TLS 1.0.

Application Version Adoption to Excel

Using Loupe Server, you can now export details of who has and hasn't adopted a specific application version to Microsoft Excel for external use.

Compatibility

Loupe 4.x is generally backwards compatible with 3.0 with the following notes:

• Agent: Requires Server version 4.0 and Desktop 4.0 due to new data types introduced in this version.
• Server: Fully backwards compatible with Agents 3.0 and later. Older Loupe Desktop clients will not be able to use AddIns.
• Desktop: Compatible with Server versions 3.7.0 and later.  Compatible with any version of Agent.
• Extensions must be modified:  Any Loupe Addin developed for an Loupe 3.* will need to be updated to use the new Loupe Extension types and repackaged.  Confirmation information has been moved so each extension will need to be reconfigured once it is installed.  See Loupe Extensions - Getting Started for more information.

• Fixed: Single User Applications may have empty grids if no user is available for any row of the grid.

Desktop

• Fixed: Live Stream will not use TLS 1.2 when available, it will instead negotiate down to 1.0.
