Things you will see, shouldn’t see and hope get fixed in the Sametime 7.5.1 client
Tags :Sametime
I loaded the new gold client on a couple fresh machines to see what results we got. While the new UI is shiny and nice like I promised, here is what I saw on the "hope it was fixed" list:
- The memory utilization is crazy. Upon launch with no plug-ins loaded yet, it was 67MB of RAM. Compared to other chat programs, that is an easy 3-4 times larger for some of the exact same functionality (like Yahoo messenger 8.x)
- If you happened to load the previous Eclipse updates for the Sametime Gateway on your Sametime 7.5 CF1 server, then you get the following prompt that new code was added. However, this isn't newer as they changed the numbering scheme (see image below)
- You are not prompted to change your geographic location for the new install and fill out you location information
- You users will appreciate the icon changing from Sametime Connect 7.5 to Sametime Connect (no version number listed).
- Privacy settings for different communities is still a single point and not set up to support the feature of logging into multiple communities
- It seems some people are getting two instances of the client when they install and click to Launch the client right away instead of closing the installer and then launching.
