  Changes in Release 6.2.0 

Here is a list of the changes in Release 6.2.0:
 The requirements of the limited access user rights have been implemented in this release.
-<
<
+To review, starting in APPX version 5.0.3, the license agreement defined Limited Access User Rights as follows:
 Limited Access User Rights, if specified on the License Key, carry certain limitations and restrictions. Users logging in under Limited Access User Rights are allowed no more than 30
 minutes of continuous operation, must be casual, occasional, transient users, may direct output only to a local (non-network) printer, and may not have access to Application Design,
 System Administration, or Database Management utilities.
 
 Further, in the CUSTOMER PRICE LIST dated 1/1/2008, users running under, Limited Access User Rights, are excluded from running up to four simultaneous sessions,
 
 Finally, in the price list, Limited Access users may be either “Named” or “Anonymous” but only one User ID may be designated as the “Anonymous” Limited Access user.
 
 For detailed information on Limited Access User Rights, see:

 Several environmental variables are available to customize the limited user implementation and are as follows:
 Note: The limited user session time can be shortened by up to 29 minutes thus, a value of 10 means the session will last for 10 minutes.
-<
<
+APPX_LIMITED_USER_EXPIRE_MESSAGE_TIME – can be used to override the time before session ends that the session expiration message is shown to the user
->
>
+APPX_LIMITED_USER_EXPIRE_MESSAGE_TIME – can be used to override the time before the session ends that the session expiration message is shown to the user
 Note: By default, the session expiration message is shown to the user is 1 minute before the session expires. This can be set in whole minutes only.
 HTML Client APPX Application Development
-<
<
+During this current Appx R&D development cycle (i.e., for Appx 6.2.0 since the Appx 6.1.0 general release) the html client has been updated so it can be used to create/edit images and ILF code as well to debug ILF code. The html code editing capabilities can be used on earlier version of Appx such as 5.5.1 but has limitation since some functionality had to added to the engine thus that functionality isn’t available in the earlier Appx version. As well, not all development functionality, that is available in the Java client, is available in the html client. See know issues below for further information.
