Release Notes: NCTI Standard Mac 4.4

Dear NFON customers,

We would like to inform you about the upcoming release of NCTI Standard Mac version 4.4. The update will take place on Friday, November 22nd 2019 at 2 pm (CET).

Below you will find the release notes:

macOS support

The macOS releases Tiger (10.4), Leopard (10.5), and Snow Leopard (10.6) are no longer supported. (#10995)
NCTI standard 4.3.6 is the last release to support those macOS releases.

Features
General
Added app notarization to allow Apple to check the app for malware and security problems. (#10951)
IP Phone connections
Added support for Snom phones that have been configured to use HTTP Digest authentication. (#10571)
Added support for firmware version 84 of Yealink non-Android phones. (#10791)
Added support for Yealink Android phones with firmware version 83. (#10792)
Added support for Yealink T53 phones with firmware v84. (#10811)
Increased the maximum number of supported NFON trunks from 1000 to 10000. (#10957)

Bug fixes
Adapted the German language settings GUI to prevent a problem on macOS Mojave where one line of text was no longer displayed. (#10536)
Fixed a bug that caused the services menu item for selected text to always read Call selected number (in English, without the application name), regardless of the user language. Now the string Call number with NCTI standard will be used (localized to the current application language). (#10560)
Fixed a bug that prevented the dialing of numbers that include a number sign (#) on some IP phones. (#10649)
Fixed a bug in the determination of the firmware version of Yealink phones. (#11005)

Changes
General
Upon application start as well as when the Preferences panel is closed, there will now be an alert panel if there are connections with missing mandatory settings. (#6475)
Extended connection status information to include information about missing connection settings. (#6475)
Changed the name nCTI to NCTI in all internal files that still used the old name. (#7491)
The default selection in the telephone connections list when the preferences panel is first opened has been changed to now attempt to select the first active connection (instead of the first connection in general). (#10333)
Improved the description text of the phone number field in the connections preferences > phone. (#10550)
Prevented problems of user-defined AppleScript scripts from causing problems in NCTI standard. (#10704)
New app icon. (#11009)
Improved debug output.

IP Phone connections
Added support for yet another flavor of Yealink session termination so that the connection can be properly restarted. (#10236)
Added periodic re-login to Yealink phones in order to prevent the Yealink phone’s session from timing out. This improves the reaction time if a number shall be dialed after a long period of inactivity. (#10302)
Improved handling of IP phone authentication errors. (#10380, #10561)
The attempts to detect the IP phone type will no longer be repeated indefinitely if the type cannot be identified. (#10551)
Improved the detection of Mitel and Snom IP phones. (#10552)
Changed the way the caller ID is determined on Snom phones to now use the same parameter that has already been used on Mitel and Yealink phones. This reduces the likelihood that the caller ID cannot be correctly interpreted. (#10597)
If the caller ID string contains a SIP host address, this is now stripped in order to improve the chances of finding a matching contact. (#10599)
Added a workaround for a Yealink event signaling problem in cases where an inbound ringing call is picked up on a different device, not on the one monitored by the application. This problem caused the application to wrongly assume that the phone was still in the ringing state. (#10813)

In case of problems please contact our support on +49 800 6366 555.

Best regards
Your NFON team
