Board Client version 10 can connect to a Board Server of the same version and vice-versa. After upgrading the Board Server it is therefore required to update all Board Client and Office Add-in installations.
Capsules created with prior versions of Board (version 9 or 8) can be opened without requiring any editing with version 10. A Capsule that created or saved using version 10 is automatically upgraded to a new format which then can't be re-opened with an older version such as version 9.0 or older.
Note that in order to view a Capsule with the new HTML5 Board Web server, it is necessary to upgrade your Capsules to the version 10 format.
Note ! BOARD Server TCP Port 9705
Bard Server now uses the TCP/IP port number 9705, in case your server is protected behind a firewall you must ensure that the TCP port 9705 is open otherwise the users will experience slow log-in when connection with their BOard Client or Office Add-in clients.
