You must update your EmdisDB database by EmdisDB-20100819a.sqe, EmdisDB-20100819b.sqe and EmdisDB-20110224.sqe scripts or generate new EmdisDB database by EmdisDB-20110224.sql script! (c:\Ester\Sw\estAdmin\#servis.zip)
If you generate new EmdisDB database you should use the EmdisAdmin tool for switching to new instance of a database. See ESTER User's Guide for more details.
You must update your EmdisMail database by EmdisMail-20100819.sqe script or generate new EmdisMail database by EmdisMail-20100819.sql script! (c:\Ester\Sw\estAdmin\#servis.zip)
If you generate new EmdisMail database you should use the EmdisAdmin tool for switching to new instance of a database. See ESTER User's Guide for more details.

  + Better explanation of META messages processing errors and list of recommended actions.
  * ESTER Batch program are now compiled by Delphi 2007
  * Access layer to FireBird database is now CoreLab dbExpress Driver for InterBase,
    therefore library "dbexpida40.dll" is needed.    
  - Problems with FireBird client library. ESTER has new parametrer (DBXClientLib in Ester.ini),
    that stores DLL file name of FireBird client library. Use 'gds32.dll' or 'fbclient.dll'

    FML message (reported by Rafi Freudenberger)
  - Erroneous FML message with special character (`): "ESTER didn't send
    a message to the administrator and even the Admin-Program (Hub counters)
    didn't show 'error' for HUB DE. Also all other FMLIN's were not processed
    after that error, no matter from which HUB."
    (reported by Andreas Osim and Jack Bakker)
  - emdis-v34.mdf updated, removed ALM_RES.D_DRW1 and ALM_RES.D_DRW2
    (reported by Jack Bakker)  
  + Implementation Package 5 (EMDIS version 3.5)
    * New MDF file emdis-v345.mdf is backward compatible with version 3.4
      DO NOT USE THIS MDF FILE FOR WRITING FML MESSAGES BEFORE 6-MAY-2008,

    * New EsterFML program
    * Changes in database structure of EmdisDB database
      (see Revision.doc file in Admin package)
  * Version of ESTER software is included in READY messages.
  + More information and list of recommended actions in FML error alarm message.   

2007-05-20
----------
  * Daily email to the staff of the registry is sent from system administrator
    email address. Previous behavior (EMDIS email address) was confusing if
    someone wanted to reply to the email (requested by Jack Bakker, Europdonor)
  + Implementation Package 4 (Phase 3-4)
    * ECS meta messages are PGP signed (clear text signature)
    * ECS READY messages provide last_recv_num=XXX and last_sent_num=YYY
  * Change of date format in GUI of UnDemon program

2007-03-29
----------
  + Implementation Package 4 Update 1 (EMDIS version 3.4)
    * RES_REM.REQ_TYPE changed to RES_REM.RES_TYPE (reminded by Jack Bakker)
    * New MDF file emdis-v334.mdf is backward compatible with version 3.3
      DO NOT USE THIS MDF FILE FOR WRITING FML MESSAGES BEFORE 2-APR-2007,
      USE IT ONLY FOR PARSING INCOMING MESSAGES !!!
    * New EsterFML program
    * Changes in database structure of EmdisDB database
      (see Revision.doc file in Admin package)
  - EsterECS crashed when it received a chinese spam
    (bug announced by Joustin, Taiwan)
    EsterECS now supports all character sets.
  * in daily report, in the section "Counters of Hubs", registries are
    now listed in alphabetical order according to their EMDIS registry code
    (requested by Jack Bakker, Europdonor)

2006-09-03
----------
  + Implementation Package 4 (EMDIS version 3.4)
    * New MDF file emdis-v334.mdf is backward compatible with version 3.3
      DO NOT USE THIS MDF FILE FOR WRITING FML MESSAGES BEFORE 5-DEC-2006,
      USE IT ONLY FOR PARSING INCOMING MESSAGES !!!
    * New EsterFML program
    * Changes in database structure of EmdisDB database
      (see Revision.doc file in Admin package)
    * EsterECS is now able to process "last_sent_num" parameter in received
      ECS READY messages, although it still creates the old "#last_send_num"
      parameter in sent READY messages (backward compatibility for phase 2-3).
    * EsterECS can process meta message with PGP signature, althought it doesn't
      check the signature. This functionality will be provided later.
  * Tables of EMDIS messages now use special constants to express empty
    values: for integer values ‘-32767’ and for floats ‘-2345678’
    (request of Jack Bakker, discussed in dotProject forum).
    If you write these values into EmdisDB database, EsterFML will put en empty
    value ("") into the FML text, so it is the same behavior as for '-32768'
    (undef. integer) and  '-1234567' (undef. float). For incoming messages you
    must change the behavior of your processing function to avoid presenting these
    values to user (We recommend to present zero or "" values). The incoming FML string
    value "" is stored in EmdisDB database table as "" value.

2006-02-19
----------
  - EsterECS: minor improvement of processing of a subject of emails
  - EsterMon: subject of daily report with MSGDENs and WARNINGs
  - EmdisDB-20050904.sqe script adds a field D_DIAG_DATE to the PAT_UPD table,
    instead of the P_DIAG_DATE (reported by Jack Bakker and CRIR)
  * If batch application cannot connect to database, application writes error
    message to log file and terminates (previous behavior: it shows error message
    and waits for user interaction). Note that if the error occurs,
    you won't see error message in daily admin email, because this email is based
    on the information in the database. If application cannot log into the database,
    it will not store there the error message. In the daily admin email,
    you can notice lower number of "events", since this particular error event is
    not present there. (request of Jack Bakker)

2005-09-10
----------
  + Implementation of ECS level acknowledgement
    * This feature is not described in official EMDIS documentation.
    * We think the biggest problem of ECS protocol is the receiver don't know
      if last data message(s) from sender are missing or not. This can cause
      big problem, especially between two HUBs with low message traffic
      (i.e. small registries).
    * Idea: Changed READY message with new information about last send email
      number (#last_send_num=123). It is backward compatible, other systems see
      this new information as the comment.
    * This feature was agreed by EMDIS IT WG in Mineapolis 2003, but
      is still not included into official ECS documentation,
      so we use "#last_send_num" instead of "last_send_num"
    * ESTER is only ECS software, which implements this feature, so now it works
      only between ESTER systems.
  + Implementation of message level acknowledgement
    * For incomming messages *_REQ and SMP_ARR,
      EsterFML can create MSG_ACK messages.
    * This is optional, see ESTER settings in EsterAdmin program.
  + Implementation Package 3 (EMDIS version 3.3)
    * New MDF file is backward compatible with version 3.2
    * New EsterFML program
    * Changes in database structure of EmdisDB database
      (see Revision.doc file in Admin package)
  - MDF file: Fields DONOR_CB.D_A1, DONOR_CB.D_B1, PHEN_LIST.D_A1 and
    PHEN_LIST.D_B1 are optional, not required.
  * EsterFML: All non-ASCII characters in incomming FML messages are replaced
    with '?' character.
  + EsterMon: subject of daily reports to administrator now includes
    also information about count of WARNING and MSGDEN messages during the
    day (depends on your settings in EsterAdm application).
  * fields DONOR_CB.D_NONAVA_DATE and DON_UPD.D_NONAVA_DATE removed
    from EmdisDB database, MDF file, etc.

2005-03-28
----------
  + Implementation Package 2 Addition
    * MATCH_SUM message
    * New MDF files, New EsterFML program, changes in database structure
  * EsterFML writes BLOCK construct for continuous sequence of PHEN_LIST
    messages (asked by Amar Baouz)

2005-03-07
----------
  - EsterECS didn't change state of meta messages (resend request) with
    erroneous seq_num (reported by Jack Bakker)

2005-02-28
----------
  + EsterFML uses the latest FML parser from ZKRD
    FMLParser Version 1.6d (15 Sep 2004)
  + EsterFML uses the latest FML writer from ZKRD
    FMLWriter Version 1.3  (02 Dec 2004)
  - EsterFML: FML parser error message also appears in monitor file.
  * EsterPGP does not create encrypted message in MIME format
    (see Action plan Minneapolis 2004)
  + Implementation Package 2 (EMDIS version 3.2)
    * New MDF file is backward compatible, it means no fields are deleted
      (i.e. DONOR_CB.D_NONAVA_DATE) and if some field was optional and should be required
      in new version, it is left only optional
    * New EsterFML program
    * Changes in database structure of EmdisDB database
      (see Revision.doc file in Admin package)

2004-11-03
----------
  - NEW_ADD.ADDR_4 and NEW_ADD.ADDR_5 removed from MDF file

2004-10-13
----------
  * Implementation of Package 1 (EMDIS version 3.1)
    * System is not compatible with version 3.0 any more
    * Fields MATCH_PRE, P_MAX_DON, MATCH_GRADE, P_TYP_SRCH dropped
    * New MDF file

2004-07-15
----------
  - EsterFML: Error while new fields from Package 1 are not included
    in MDF file (Reported by Jack Bakker)
  * MDF file Emdis-v31.mdf is the same as Hans-Peter sent to EMDIS community
    as Emdis-v31-win.mdf

2004-07-06
----------
  * Implementation of Package 1 (EMDIS version 3.1), new EsterFML
    * Added PAT_ALTPH.P_MAX_DON_CB

2004-05-13
----------
  + Implementation of Package 1 (EMDIS version 3.1)
    * New MDF file is backward compatible, it means no fields are deleted
      (i.e. P_MAX_DON) and if some field was optional and should be required
      in new version, it is left only optional
    * New EsterFML program
    * Changes in database structure of EmdisDB database
      (see Revision.doc file in Admin package)
  + The structure of FML file created by EserFML isn't hard coded, it is
    fully determined by user's MDF file
  - When FML syntax error occurs and it is possible to determine MSG_CODE
    of erroneous message, it is inserted to WARNING message, field MSG_CODE.
  * Only one instance of every batch program is possible.
  * If you fill HUB_RCV='ALL' to message table, EsterFML will create
    one FML message to every HUB in EMDISCOUNT table, which is not passive.
    EsterFML also changes HUB_RCV field and writes to FML text
    the corresponding value of recipient (i.e. value 'ALL' is changed
    to 'DE','CZ',etc.). Value SERIALFML is set to serial number of last
    created FML text.

2003-11-28
----------
  - EsterPGP: If you fill "ALL" to HUB_RCV field of a message,
    EsterPGP creates emails to all HUBs in EMDISCOUNT table with status
    "Active" or "Silent". If processing of the FML message fails,
    the message will be no sent to any HUB
    (transaction processing - "all or nothing" principle).
  + EsterMon: You can choose if you want to receive all events or
    only error events in daily report
  + EsterMon: You can include all MSG_DEN messages (sent and received)
    in the system on report day
  + EsterMon: You can include all WARNING messages (sent and received)
    in the system on report day

2003-11-01
----------
  + EsterMon: New parameter 'U' creates daily email for management
    of registry up to 5 email addresses (FML statistics, email statistics,
    counters of HUBs). You can add your text to this email. See User's guide.
  + EsterEcs: All received erroneous emails (state 50) are forwarded
    to the email of the administrator. Attachments are erased.
  - Columns EXP_STR, ADDR_4 and ADDR_5 removed from Emdis.mdf file

2003-10-08
----------
  + Parameters of programs can be set in more intuitive way (see congif. guide)
  + More possibilities for encryption of outgoing messages for every HUB:
    PGP is not used, encrypted messages, encrypted and signed messages.
    The same for incomming messages.
  - EsterFML: Wrapping after comment in FML.

2003-10-02
----------
  - EsterFML: Date conversion problem while creating FML
  - EsterECS: Bigger encrypted emails had wrapped lines every 4096
    characters. Some PGP software had then problem do decrypt these emails.

2003-10-01
----------
  * Accorging to recommendation of Hans-Peter, Ester puts "" value to FML
    for undefined values (in past it put there "?" value)
  * You must set to every individual HUB, if PGP encryption is used or not.
    You must generate new EmdisMail database or
    run EmdisMai-20031001.sqe script on the old one!!!
  - PGP decoding: Bad behavior when bad passphrase error occurs
  - FML parsing: Big FML files with wrapping

2003-09-21
----------
  + New program EstMailS for email simulation, see User's guide
  - Writing float values into FML
  - FML parsing and writing error behavior - some situations
  + You can view output information of EsterECS in more detail,
    this can be set by EsterAdm program in Ester parameters
  * All batch programs have greater output window
  + Mail statistics in daily report.
  + Actual state of counters of HUBs in daily report.

2003-07-30
----------
  - Processing bigger count of incomming emails

2003-06-22
----------
  * EsterMon: actions in daily report are ordered
  + FML statistics in daily report. Now you can watch the message traffic
    between your HUB and other HUBs (types of messages, count, time).

2003-06-21
---------
  * Messages in one FML (for one HUB) are sorted according to the Serial
    of the messages in EMDIS messsages tables. So it is on ESTER user
    responsibility to create semanically correct order of outgoing messages.
  + EsterMon adds monitor files with Error events as attachments to
    daily report, if same error occurs
  + Better protection against spam emails


2003-05-17
---------
  * EsterECS shows log information in less detail
  + anti-freezing protection while sending emails
  - sending bigger count of messages error

2003-04-22
----------
  + More error types while sending and receiving emails
  * If PGP decryption error occurs, Ester will change the state of HUB
    to erroneous and any other email is decrypted until the state is manually
    changed back to normal or silent
  + If PGP decryption/encryption error occurs, Ester will create alarm email
    to administrator, if this option is checked in EsterAdm program
  + Protection against a cracker, which would send email with (for example)
    this subject "ESTER:DE:1000000". Ester now controls if new incomming
    sequential number of email is lower than the last plus 100. If it is
    higher, alarm message to administrator is created and no resend messages
    for missing numbers are created.
  + If the sender's email address of incoming email is different from
    the expected one (in EmdisHub table) the email state is changed to
    "bad sender's email", if this option is checked in EsterAdm program

2003-04-04
----------
  * FML parser error (syntax error) of incomming message (see the documentation)
  + silent mode (automatic turn on and off) for HUB, which is not sending
    any message, only two emails are sent to administrator (turn on and off)
  - "unknown receiving HUB" error handled in process of PGP decoding/encoding
  - "missing PGP key" error handled in process of PGP decoding/encoding
  - "unknown receiving HUB" error handled in process of checking outgoing
    emails

2003-03-24
----------
  - in case of FML parser error, no error box is shown
  - the possibility of email from unknown EMDIS node

2003-03-21
----------
  - date format in FML writing process

2003-03-07
----------
  - date and time format error in USA

2003-03-01
----------
  - alarm messages are in english
  - Ester timer interval errors (delays)
  + EMDIS nodes CR and AT were added to SQL script
  + PGP 8 support, EsterPGP program needs to have UTF8Sec.dll
  * incomming message with error subject doesn't ivoke error, it is ignored
  * if "Keep monitor information ..." parameter is set to "0",
    monitor information is not stored.
  * deleting monitor information corrected, it now deletes both
    data in Monitor tables in databases and monitor files in Monitor directory
