Version 4.2.3 release notes

READ BEFORE
INSTALLING
RELEASE CODES - You may install this update using your current release code. This release code should be populated for you automatically when installing. If you need it though, you can retrieve it by logging into the Support Downloads section of our website or contact us directly.
If you are running CMS version 3.x, you may still use this version to update but we strongly encourage you to read the 4.0 release notes before proceeding.
No workstation updates are required with 4.2.3 You will only need to update your server and you should not expect this update to take any longer than previous updates.
When to Install - The shipping rates in CMS will be updated when you install the 4.2.3 update. As such, you should time the installation of your update to coincide with when you want the new rates to be available.
It should be noted that having the current rates in CMS does not impact your ability to ship properly with any of the CMS shipping integrations. In every case, the software that prints the shipping label (e.g. Worldship, Endicia/DaZzle, Ship Manager, HarveySoft, ShipRush, etc.) determines the proper rate for the shipment and thus how you are billed.
Having the current rates in CMS is often more of a reference. Its greatest impact though is in situations where the shipping and handling charge you charge to your customer is based on the carrier's actual rate (instead of a spending table or other formulas.) If this is how you charge your customers for shipping and handling you will want to make sure you have this update installed so you have the proper rates.
Database changes - (provided for the benefit of those who write their own reports or connect to the CMS database from other applications)
No database changes were made in version 4.2.3 However, database changes were made in the CMS releases 4.0.4 and 4.0. Please refer to their release notes for details on those changes.

LIST OF FIXED BUGS IN 4.2.3 (versions 4.0.1 through 4.2.3.40) – If you've reported a bug or asked for a software change and we provided you with a case number, this number refers to the case number in our TaskTracker software. (TaskTracker is the software we use internally to manage our bugs and enhancement requests.) In the list of changes below, you'll often see a number following it and that is the TaskTracker or TT number. If you have been using our IssueTrak software for submitting issues to us, you'll see a field there for TT# which we'll fill in with the TT case number if one has been filed, thus allowing you to search for fixes by number in the list below:
