We have upgraded the notification system we introduced a few months ago. It now includes notifications of new versions of the products. As part of this upgrade, we have removed our old update checker.

Over time, our update checker has been blocked by more and more school IT departments as it forced them to update old copies. While we understand that IT departments prefer to maintain a stable environment, this did mean that an increasing number of our users were not aware of new versions that provided significant new features or fixes for old problems. One reason why our update checker was blocked was because it was intrusive and popped a window up when it found a new version.

The new notification system will simply show you a small flag when it finds a new notification. You choose when to look at the messages. It is far less intrusive.

Update notifications provide you with a download link and a link to what’s new in the version. You can make an informed choice about whether to update.

Our notification centre will quickly become the single, best source of information about what is happening to Efofex products.
