Enhancement

Date	Advisory		Synopsis
2/2/05	New performance meter		New performance meter available through the Propel Accelerator Client
2/2/05	Improved text acceleration		Increased acceleration of text content resulting from enhanced text compression
2/2/05	Improved graphics acceleration		Increased acceleration of graphic images, with no decrease in image quality, resulting from improved graphics compression
2/2/05	IMAP acceleration		For email acceleration, the Propel Accelerator Client now supports the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), in addition to the Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3).
2/2/05	LSP Diagnostic Indicator		Propel Accelerator Client diagnostics now indicate if the LSP for email acceleration is installed. Depending on if the LSP is installed or not, diagnostics Step 1 displays whichever line is appropriate in the Propel Accelerator Diagnostics window: Propel Accelerator: Yes, A or U. (A means accelerate and U means unaccelerate.) Propel Accelerator: No.
2/2/05	Authentication failure feedback to the client		If the Propel Acceleration Server is so configured, it can send the RADIUS reply message to the Propel Accelerator Client so that the client can display a message to the user. The message for the user provides diagnostic information about why authentication may have failed.
2/2/05	No proxy message when not using IE		The Propel Accelerator Client did not display a proxy message when you were using a browser other than Internet Explorer as your default browser. Now when you install the Client, the following message appears: IMPORTANT: In order for Propel Accelerator to speed up a browser that is NOT Internet Explorer based (such as Netscape, Mozilla, or Opera), you need to set the HTTP proxy in your browser to localhost:8080.

Known Problems

• Running the Propel Accelerator Client on a computer where Norton Antispam 2004 is also running may disable the Norton Antispam software. To resolve this issue, turn off email acceleration in the Propel Accelerator Client. From the Propel Accelerator Client menu, select Options, and then choose the Advanced tab. Click the Email Acceleration check box to clear it.
   
• Occasionally, diagnostics take a long time to complete. If you run diagnostics and the tests appear to hang, do not click Stop to end the tests. Instead, wait until you see a notification in the diagnostics window that the tests did not complete successfully. Close the diagnostics window and run diagnostics again if necessary.
   
• The Mozilla Firefox browser cannot display some JPEG images. When Firefox encounters a bad image, it displays text instead of the actual image. This problem exists in Firefox and occurs whether or not you are using the Propel Accelerator Client.
   
• When your email client is receiving email, you should notice that the state of the Propel Accelerator icon changes to the alternating arrows that indicate acceleration. After the mail delivery is complete, the icon should change back to the blue propeller that indicates that Propel Accelerator is waiting to accelerate content. If your email client is configured for IMAP, the icon may not change back to the blue propeller
  after the client finishes receiving email. The icon will continue to show the alternating arrows. You can confirm that the email delivery is complete by opening your Inbox and confirming that all of the new messages slated for delivery (as shown by the number next to your Inbox folder) are present.
