Dialectic Changelog

What's new in Dialectic 1.12.4 Build 1124

Mar 10, 2016
  • Added support for Daylite 6.
  • Added support for MegaPath VoIP service.
  • Added support for the transition of legacy Speakeasy accounts to MegaPath accounts (if you were transitioned from a legacy Speakeasy VoIP account to a MegaPath account, make sure to append “@speakeasy.net” to your username).
  • Added Apple Maps as a mapping option.
  • Streamlined postal address mapping options to just Apple Maps & Google Maps.
  • Updated and signed the Dialectic Firefox Extension to allow it to load on the latest version of Firefox.
  • Improved handling of duplicate contacts in AB Menu.
  • Fixed several cosmetic issues and minor code inefficiencies.
  • Posted more resources on the resources page (http://www.jonn8.com/dialectic/resources/) including a configuration utility for MegaPath VoIP dialing.

New in Dialectic 1.12.3 Build 1123 (Nov 6, 2015)

  • Fixed an issue that prevented logging in to Google Voice on some OS X 10.11 El Capitan systems.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the Groups submenu from working correctly in the AB menu.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented the Polycom IP phone dialing script from actually completing the dial request.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented external startup, before & after dialing, and incoming call scripts from running correctly on some OS X 10.11 El Capitan systems.
  • Worked around the discontinuation of the Skype Desktop API for dialing the Skype application.

New in Dialectic 1.12.2 Build 1122 (Sep 27, 2015)

  • Fixed a bug that could result in a crash when using the Asterisk Dial Method.
  • Fixed a bug that could prevent initialization of analog USB modems on some systems.
  • Fixed a bug that could cause the Dialectic HTTP server to be unresponsive.
  • Updated the default to not pause iTunes on dialing. If this is important to you, it can be re-enabled in the Dialing preferences. (The change was made because, on some systems, the communication with iTunes, if it was launched but not playing audio at the time of dialing, could result in a several second delay while Dialectic waited for a response from iTunes.)
  • Updated the Google Chrome extension on the resources page (http://www.jonn8.com/dialectic/resources/).
  • Note: in our testing, analog USB modems that work on OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) and earlier do not appear to be recognized by OS X 10.11 (El Capitan). As such, Dialectic can’t access these modems on OS X 10.11 systems for either dialing or incoming call monitoring. We hope to address this issue in an upcoming release. If modem support is important to you, you may want to withhold upgrading to OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) until this issue is resolved.
