Published 2022-09-30

Subject to changes and corrections.

Version 2.4 (Build 5) (Released 2010-08-27)

• Fixed issue with VipersoftSQL conversion in which single images are stored in layouts with tiles. This was due to a Visual Studio 2010 incompatibility that made CRecordSet::IsFieldNull() not work properly.
• Fixed bug where stamp files were being left in the VipersoftSQL image folder.
• Added Easy Image icon to the application list. This is a VipersoftSQL database.

Version 2.4 (Build 4) (Released 2010-08-27)

• Fixed bug with checking single image count on VipersoftSQL conversions.

• Fixed Trophy6 to DICOM, SoftDent + Trophy to DICOM conversion problem where only the first pages (thumnails) of multip-paged DICOM files were converted.
