- 5/19/2010 - Starting the process of replacing all Install Shield setups
with QSetup frameworks. Superior flexibility, better support and
smaller/faster setups will be the result (not to mention a rather
significant cost savings for our little group). All new releases of
tools will include updated setups. Keep an eye out for any issues with
installs into various configurations - be sure to report anything unusual to
me directly or via the forums.
- 3/9/2010 - Unity 8 and Connection 8 are available now. All tools
supported for those releases should have version support updated on the site
now. TOIs for both releases are available on the downloads page.
- 2/3/2010 - Unity 8 and Connection 8 product releases are coming up.
Numerous tools updates and version support updates are taking place on the
site this week along with some training material that should be out by the
weekend.
- 10/6/2009 - All tools that support automatic version update checks have
now been upgraded to pull version info from the new site.
- 10/3/2009 - Connection developer support web page is up! For
Connection 7.1(3) there is support for a REST based API for administration
tasks. Get support and documentation here:

- 9/30/2009 - Starting updates of most tools to provide version update
checks via the XML file published on the new site. Roughly 30 tools
will be updated over the next week or so.
- 9/18/2009 - New site goes live.
- 9/13/2009 - All tools pages are now homed on the new site - ready for
cut over on 9/18.
- 9/9/2009 - Early notice of new site sent to CiscoUnityTools mailer list.
- 95/2009 - Upgraded DHTMLX library used for the grid to 2.5.
Updated boolean grid columns to graphical "yes/no" fields. Attempted
to implement custom hooks for column filtering but the performance was too
slow with the manual field checks so I left the old "0/1" auto filters in
place and added an extra note to the top of the page. Hopefully folks
will catch on to how the filters work if they need to use them.
Updated the search page to have Unity and Connection content specific
searches on a single tab control.
- 9/3/2009 - First public beta of the new Cisco Unified Communications
tools web site. Internal mailer and the Unified Communications forum
were sent links - feedback coming in from both.
- 9/1/2009 - Automatic update of site from database driven application
functioning end to end.
- 8/31/2009 - Fully functional "all downloads" page with XML driven grid
support with filters available for internal testing
- 8/27/2009 - Several layouts presented to internal users with various
navigation thems. A simple single frame with top navigation bar by far
and away the most popular selection. Simple and clean are the
watchwords of the day. 301 reroutes tested on several pages from the
existing site to the new one. 150 test entries in the .htaccess file
proved to perform perfectly, TAC and tech pubs can keep their existing
shortcut libraries for the time being.
- 8/22/2009 - Staging site "LindborgLabsBeta.com" registered and active -
ready for prototypes of new site design.
