This is a feature and minor bug fix release.

## Patch Levels

| Date        | Patch Level                                                                                           |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 16-Dec-2016 | Original Release                                                                                      |
| 15-Dec-2017 | Add Java 9 support for adjusting to high DPI displays. Add a couple of indexes to the control tables. |

## Add a Dynamic Dashboard to the Web Browser Administrator Tools

The web browser based tools now include a dashboard which dynamically monitors and shows the progress of all active CopyStorm/Director jobs.

## Support Storing the CopyStorm/Director Metadata in a non-Default Schema

Previous releases required the CopyStorm/Director Metadata to be in the default schema.

## Avoid Passing Credentials to Subprocesses When the “Default” Credential Location is Specified

Previous releases would always pass encrypted credentials on the command line even when a task was set up to use the credentials in the CopyStorm configuration file. This would cause a hard to diagnose error if the encrypted credentials in the database did not match the credentials in the configuration file.

## Fix a Screen Repaint Issue when Creating a New Task

Previous releases would not fully paint a new task on the GUI task editor when it was the new task (a window resize event was needed). This bug is fixed.

## In the Job Finder Add a Visual Cue for Inactive and Deleted Jobs

Jobs that are marked as inactive or deleted now are indicated by a status of “Inactive” (or “Deleted”) with a gray background.

## Add a Feature to Reload Configuration Data Without Restarting CopyStorm/Director

The Global Configuration tab has a new button, Reload Configuration Data, that will rescan the configuration directory for changes (e.g. new or removed configuration files).

## Add a Feature to Start CopyStorm or CopyStorm/Medic Without a Defined Job

Controls have been added to the bottom of the Find Jobs tab for launching CopyStorm or CopyStorm/Medic.

## Avoid a “CMD” Window When the Job Runner is Launched on Windows

If the -silent flag is passed to the JobRunner.bat script then the JobRunner will not longer display a blank “CMD” window when it is running. In previous versions a blank “CMD” would display even when the JobRunner was launched via Windows Scheduler.

## Make the View of Task History “Real Time”

When the log file for a task is being viewed it will now be updated to match the running log file of a task. By default, the update interval is every 10 seconds.
