We recently discovered two small memory leaks in our worker process, one that affected only the ARM architecture build, and one that affected all builds regardless of the CPU architecture (but only if you use scripting and event-handling). Although both of them were very small and limited in scope, over long periods of time they […]
As many of you know, starting with the release of Syncplify Server! version 6 we have also introduced the Syncplify Customer Center Portal, which is a web UI for customers to manage their own licenses, maintenance/support subscriptions, orders, … and now also invoices! Yes, invoices are now inside of your Customer UI: To access an […]
For several years we’ve been using Freshdesk to provide an online support/ticketing system to our customers. It’s a good and feature-rich solution, but it’s not deeply integrated with all of the other subsystems in our pipeline.

In fact: Together with it, we will also release our first Customer Control Center, through which our customers will be able to perform […]
As you all probably already know, one of the main goals for Syncplify Server! v6 and AFT! v4 is uniformity. And one of the major steps taken to achieve such uniformity is the adoption of the same scripting language in both software products. Since aftJS (the JavaScript flavor found in AFT!) was way more modern […]
This is a technical blog. And it has two main purposes: 1) To share ideas and insights into the development of the next features in Syncplify’s products with other developers and system administrators who routinely use our software 2) To publish Release Notes every time a new version (whether it is a minor update or […]
