This version is a major upgrade, the updates as below:
> Features / Improvements
* Important: made the sending feature (core function) as a Windows Service. If you install AMSBE on your server, it is very useful – can enjoy the automatic greetings sending feature without logged in Windows. Lets the product UI does not start automatically follow Windows starting, only need to run it manually when you need to configure it, it’s friendlier, and reduced the system load. Besides, the sending efficiency of Windows Service is higher than the desktop program.
* Important: can process the birthdays of Feb 29!
* Important: adds the icons to the context menu of employees / contacts managers.
* Important: updates the {My company} macro in time after changed enterprise name.
* Important: do not allows you to delete the logs within 15 days, because this action may cause resendings, and you may not fully understand why.
* Removed the wrapper program, lets AMSBE running faster and occupying less system resources.
* Do not request the confirmation when exit the desktop program, because it uses Windows Service to send your greetings.
* No longer uses the bold texts on all interfaces, replaced them with colorful texts, more readable and beautiful.
* Queue and log manager: focuses on the listbox and selects the first row (if has) after deleted a log.
