  • In the MTWeb log viewer, the contacts dropdown now contains the name of the server as a filter option. If selected, the log viewer will show only server log entries such as restarts and errors. The name of the server in the dropdown is taken from the server name setting in the mtweb.ini file.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Professional servers have multiple remote administrators enabled [#21396][Professional]
  • MassTransit 6.0 Professional servers can now have multiple remote administrators connected to the MassTransit Engine at the same time. Previously the Professional server could only have one remote administrator connected.

  • MassTransit 6.0 now logs the remote user's IP address when it encounters problems establishing a connection handshake.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Log client name with authentication to deleted contact message [#21877][Mac/Win]
  • When a MassTransit Application Client attempts to connect to a MassTransit Server that has deleted the client entry, an error message is logged on the server. The error message has been improved to include which client made the connection.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Log the name of the account running MassTransit [#21271][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 logs the name of the user account that launched MassTransit to the log at application startup.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Allow user to enable/disable multiple actions at a time [#22208][Mac/Win]
MassTransit 6.0 allows the user to select multiple actions in the Actions panel of the Setup dialog and enable/disable them with one click. Previously the user had to click each action and enable/disable individually.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Allow user to delete multiple actions at once [#22208][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 allows the user to select multiple actions in the Actions panel of the Setup dialog and delete them with one click. Previously the user had to click each action and delete individually.

  • ENHANCEMENT: MassTransit Administrator on Windows supports drag/drop to Files window with "All" selected in User Filter popup menu. [#5640]
  • MassTransit 6.0 includes changes to increase feature parity across both supported platforms. This includes the addition, on Windows, of the ability to drag/drop files to the Files window when the User filter is set to "All". When this occurs the Administrator prompts the user for one or more contacts to whom the files will be sent. Previously this was only supported on Macintosh.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Copy rows from Log window to clipboard [#5542][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 allows a user to copy rows from the Log window to the clipboard. MassTransit now supports copying the selected rows to the clipboard as tab delimited text. Care should be used when the log contains many log entries as it will take considerable time to perform the copy operation.

  • CHANGE: SOAP Interface CreateTemporaryContact() return structure has changed [#22298][Mac/Win]
  • In MassTransit 6.0 the return value from the CreateTemporaryContact() has changed to include some new fields. If you have written code that uses the MassTransit SOAP interface you may need to recompile or otherwise rebuild your application.
  • CHANGE: AppleScript enumerated type for SSL ciphers has changed to avoid parsing errors [#22262][Mac]
  • MassTransit 6.0 includes a change to it's AppleScript dictionary to correct a problem where AppleScipt was parsing the names of SSL constants that included a dash incorrectly.

  • CHANGE: v1 and v2 MassTransit SOAP interface API calls deprecated [#21867][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 officially deprecates some unused and obsolete SOAP API calls. The current API is defined by the WSDL file "MassTransit.wsdl" located in the MTWeb folder.
  • BUG FIX: Database connection leak [#23018][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 fixes a rare database connection leak that would occur when editing file records. This situation could create a crash if enough connections leaked.
  • BUG FIX: MTWeb will gracefully fail when users attempt to log into a timed out version of MassTransit [#22476][Mac/Win][Enterprise]
  • MassTransit 6 fixes a problem where the MassTransit web interface would not handle the error when the associated MassTransit server was timed out. Users should now receive a useful error message in this case.

  • BUG FIX: MTWeb cookies automatically enabled [#22057][Mac/Win]
  • Custom MTWeb projects where the login name is specified as a parameter in the address could hit an error saying "Cookies must be enabled to login". Now MTWeb will automatically try to enable cookies and reload the original webpage with all parameters specified in the address bar.
  • BUG FIX: Improved performance and reduction in SQL generated when forwarding files [#22252][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 includes changes that improve the rate at which files are forwarded to other users by using a new algorithm that significantly reduces the SQL generated.
  • BUG FIX: Performance counters will not run when MassTransit is not configured to generate output [#22250][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit includes changes to internal performance counters to ensure that they do not run if their output is not being used. This provides a slight performance increase to TCP/IP and TCP/IP Secure file transfers.
  • BUG FIX: Log window has blank lines during times of heavy file transfer [#22363][Mac]
  • MassTransit 6.0 corrects a problem where, during heavy file transfer load, the Log window occasionally displayed entries with no log message. Subsequent scrolling or refresh would cause the missing message to display.
  • BUG FIX: Administrator hangs after deleting all rows in Log window [#22359][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 corrects a problem where deleting all rows of the Log with no filters set would cause an excessively long SQL query to be executed and the MassTransit Administrator to appear to hang.

  • BUG FIX: Value of boolean plug-in parameters are case sensitive [#22155][Mac]
  • MassTransit 6.0 changes the handling of boolean parameters such that the values may be specified in upper, lower, or mixed case.
  • BUG FIX: AD contacts are not cross-platform compatible [#22052][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 resolves the problem where AD contacts created from a remote administrator running on a different platform are not operational (i.e. can not be used to log in).
  • BUG FIX: Improper handling of LDAP_REFERRAL error code when performing LDAP queries [#22012][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 now disables LDAP referrals as they are not currently supported. Previously MassTransit would receive the LDAP_REFERRAL error code and report an error.
  • BUG FIX: The Log message that appears after a successful TCP/IP Secure connection using custom certificates is not correct [#21208][Mac/Win]
  • MassTransit 6.0 resolves the problem where the Log message that appears after a successful TCP/IP Secure connection using custom certificates incorrectly reports the cipher used and the certificate authority.

  • MassTransit 6.0 resolves the problem where a connection attempt rejected by a server due to insufficient encryption level results in a vague and confusing error message on the client side. The new error message specifically states the reason a connection attempt was rejected.
  • BUG FIX: MassTransit Administrator consumes too much CPU time when not connected to an Engine [#22078][Mac]
  • MassTransit 6.0 corrects a problem where on first launch the MassTransit Administrator would consume too much CPU time while idling and not connected to an Engine.
