 What's New in All Systems:

• Message numbers and Kit quantities are now correctly converted from older version Task files created in TLDOS or TLWIN 3.x.

• Help menu Web links are now updated for the new Data I/O Web site.

• All appropriate tabs are now displayed in the Task Editor when switching systems within a Task (at version 4.21).
  

 What's New in UniSite Family System:

• Installation program updated for use on Win2000 operating systems.
  

• Added capability to detect WinME and Win2000 when launching HyperTerminal application.
  

• Highspeed download now optimized for the parallel port, for improved performance over speeds achieved at version 4.21 release.
  

• Fixed problem with parallel port operation when switching between systems that do, and do not, support the parallel port.
  

• Parallel port operations enabled on the 3980xpi (at version 4.21).
  

• Moved .DEV files, support for .CUS files, and the file TL.ERR to a "UniSystem" directory in the TaskLink directory (at version 4.21). This is now consistent with other system components.
  

• Preferences for programmer disk options (available from System>Options>Programmer>Disk Options) are now enabled by default on new installations (at version 4.21). Existing installations maintain their current settings.
  

What's New in Sprint Family System:

• Made device database update process 100% to 300% faster, depending on performance of PC.

• Switched from ODBC to DAO for database connectivity.

• Removed redundant table queries.

• TaskLink now forgives errors while importing text for the device database. New prompt is added to "cancel" or "continue." If "continue" is chosen, the device from the suspect line is dropped from the device list.

• On General and TOPs Programmer Property tabs, controls that do not apply to the selected device are now grayed out rather than hidden.

• Syntax error in device query related to "Device-Table.Mod" now fixed.

• Corrected problems with incorrect checksum and crashing on microcontroller devices with word widths greater than 8 bits.

• Device database updated to include all of the latest FlashTOP adapters.

• "Secure device" feature now works correctly in Tasks with logic devices.

• Improved clarity of several error messages.

• Added support for start up messages when adapter.txt and lookup.txt are not found or an incorrect version is installed.
  

 What's New in ProLINE-RoadRunner System:

• Only devices installed on the PC are displayed in the device selection dialog.
  

Note: This feature requires version 1.10 of the roadrunner.mdb, which is not yet being distributed with the RoadRunner Algorithm or System update CDs. It will be distributed after customers have TaskLink version 4.30.


• Switched from ODBC to DAO for database connectivity.

• Increased size of error message buffer to prevent truncation of error messages longer than 100 characters.

• Added support for version 1.10 of the roadrunner.mdb database.

• Updated the RoadRunner database to display only installed algorithms.
