BookingBuilder BOOST/Supplier Preferencing is now available for Alpha testing. BOOST allows “Supplier related desktop messages” to be displayed to a travel agent while they are in the process of booking travel for a customer. The BookingBuilder Agency Supplier Preferencing project is an effort to develop a new product that will allow agencies to create and customize Supplier related desktop messages (and message “triggers”) so that when these real-time messages are displayed they are relevant to the specific travel plans the agent is booking in that moment. Generally these messages will indicate to the travel agent which suppliers (typically airlines, cars, or hotels) the agency management prefers them to book in each booking situation and can be managed from the Admin site.

Fixed an issue where clicking Send to Support on the Trace Prompt form was sending all the data except the prompt trace data.
Updated the new confirmation handler to allow customization of Amadeus confirmations via Genie scripts
Updated the data updater so that there is an option to have no backup data in AppData. With roaming profiles, some customers want to minimize the data in the roaming profile. This new option checks at startup to see if any required data files are missing from LocalAppData; if so, a full data update is done.
Added the ability for BB to restart itself when certain data files are downloaded from our server that cannot be loaded dynamically. This also applies to updated plugins where a new version needs to be loaded.
Fixed an issue where some data elements were not appearing in the Profile Requested Genie event
The new confirmation handler will function for all GDSs
Fixed an issue where the new confirmation handler could send some of the confirmation commands to the wrong GDS if multiple GDSs are open
The .7z files installed in [program files] BookingBuilder are no longer copied to the AppDataBookingBuilder folder. They are unzipped directly from [program files]BookingBuilder

Fixed an issue with notification windows where a window that is taller than the screen would cause an out of memory error
Added language translation to all areas where it was missing
Increased the size of some forms so German text will fit
Fixed an issue where Duration was showing as 0 when documenting IFQ results
The General tab on the configuration form now shows UserName and the username if username-based registration is enabled.
When shutting down the application checks in with our server and sends up any statistical data not yet sent, just like the 300 series.
Fixed an issue with notification windows not appearing correctly sometimes in Windows XP
Updated the data updater to download data in batches up to 2 meg in size. This can be reduced or increased by setting a registry key. This is very useful for customers with slow internet connections.

Fixed an issue where editing a profile-post-process script and then saving with “prepare for download” check could cause BB to crash
Fixed an issue where the “Test” button when editing a notification window on the admin website did not work unless at least 1 notification window already appeared in Genie
Removed unused menu choices when right-clicking a notification window
Fixed an issue where the new data updater could leave information from a previous group when switching groups. This only affected functionality not yet released, so it does not cause any issues in 420.
Updated the profile dialog so that a script can pre-select a phone number
Fixed an issue where GDS Tracker logging was not enabled unless enhanced logging was enabled at startup
Added a mini splash-type screen showing “restoring data” at the initial startup
Moved most local data from the original “pulse” web service to the new updater. This should significantly reduce bandwidth from our server to the client software.
Moved statistics zipping to 7zip, which will reduce the upload size.
Added ability to switch to UserName-based authentication
Backup/restore of local files now handles deleting of individual files
Fixed an issue where the ask user for information in Genie prompts was not working correctly
Added a registry key option to prevent the data updater from backing up data to appdata. In most environments the backup is not necessary since local appdata is not erased, so it can be disabled if desired. Set either HKLM or HKCU SoftwareLaunchMagicBBDesktopSettings dword BackupFiles = 0.
Fixed an issue where the Genie eventsFlight Availability Response Origin Destination and Flight Sold Origin Destination were not showing the correct destination airport if the flight was a connection
Added an option to display/edit the tracking script (BB development use only)
Fixed an issue where the titles drop-down was not appearing on the profile screen
Fixed an issue where clicking “display different profile” on the profile dialog could result in getting a profile without the TSA data
Updated script engine to latest version – 10.30.0.7

The data updater now triggers Genie to load prompts as soon as the data download is done; it continues to run to backup the databases. This allows prompt updates to load more quickly.
The GDS interface files are now included with teh installer. Previously these were downloaded from our server and took effect after BookingBuilder was restarted (which meant that on a new install, often BB did not connect to the GDS until after a restart).

Added a new box in the trace prompt dialog for the specific prompt trace data
Updated how much of the prompt trace data looks, including making the condition results display more information and easier to read
Replaced the logger with a new one that should perform better
Replaced the data updater with a new one that is much faster and much more capable. All the local databases changed as well, and are now encrypted.
The databases, images and downloaded files (such as GDS interfaces) are all stored in the Local Appdata folder, which can get erased on some computers at logout. Because of the size of these files, they can slow down roaming profiles, which is why they are in Local Appdata. These are now zipped and copied in Appdata (roaming) and are then unzipped when the app first starts. This minimizes the size of the files in Appdata (roaming) and fully handles Local Appdata being erased. The 7zip engine is used with lzma compression so we get the maximum compression and minimum file sizes in Appdata (roaming).
Fixed an issue with Genie notification windows where the icon could be incorrect when a mini window was minimized – this only affected windows where the icon was explicitly set
Implemented some profile functions for plugins to ensure backward compatibility with the 300 series.
The Genie action Launch Browser now always launches IE, regardless of the default browser setting. This will change to launch the default browser in the future when support for other browsers is fully implemented.
All local databases are now encrypted, including the backups.
