Controls like checkboxes, dropdowns, etc. are now presented in the system look and feel
update URI protocols (call to and tel)
The URI protocol configuration was removed from the program. The setup now prepares the protocol handlers and the user decides for what protocol TAPICall is used (better adherence to Microsoft guidelines)
update Fritz! Box mode: whitelist and blacklist added
The Fritz! Box announces information on any inbound call to all listening clients. If a given TAPICall client is MSNs, or excludes activity on given MSNs, both can now be in a whitelist and a blacklist. Both are offered in the Fritz! Box setup wizard which can thus be used to update existing Fritz! Box definitions
update Fritz! Box mode: Make call (error handling)
If making a call in Fritz! Box mode, an error message is now shown, offering to cancel or retry
update Search window: behavior on making a call
The search window can now be configured to either minimize or close completely. The menu Settings -> When a call is started ... which is extended by two sub items accordingly
Version 4.3.43
status description
New Settings page "Automatic updates"
To enable configuring the behavior on automatic updates, a new settings page "Automatic Updates" was introduced. It can be used to disable the search for updates, or configure it as desired.
New Registration as callto / tel protocol handler
TAPICall can now register for the callto: and tel: URI protocols which are presented on websites to prepare a phone number with a single click. For configuring this, the new "default application" settings page was introduced
CAUTION! This feature is in beta state and will not work fully in Windows 8 and 10!
Version 4.3.36
status description
update Settings page for automatic updates
The settings page 'Automatic Updates' what added to allow configuring the behavior even if no current updates exist.
update Duplicate folders in folder structure views
Using connected accounts could cause the same folders to be shown multiple times in the folder selection views. From now on, for each folder only the first appearance will be ignored.
update URI protocol evaluation
Links with tel: or call to: did not work properly even if they were bound to TAPICall. Clicking a link would open the TAPICall search window but not copy the number into the input line. This was fixed.
update tel: / callto: URI protocol handling
The support for the URI protocols tel: and callto: what moved from the setup into the program (last page in the "first start" wizard as well as page "default application" in the settings). The protocols can be assigned to TAPICall on demand, and this can therefore be rolled back to the last-known application that was assigned before TAPICall.
update Fritz! Box mode / Windows location check
Until now, TAPICall would not check the location configuration in the Windows Telephony settings when TAPICall works in Fritz! Box mode. If the location is missing, this will trigger a warning on startup.
update Bugfix about database shadow copies
Reading area codes from the database in the program installation folder would automatically create a shadow copy of the database on Windows Vista and newer versions which would be announced at the next program startup. This is now removed by creating a temporary copy of the template.
Version 4.3.33
status description
update Call list: filter to current month
When the filter "current month" what was selected in the call list, the result was not as expected. The date range selection was corrected.
update Automatic database repair
When TAPICall is shut down for the 10th time, the profile is automatically cleaned up. A new button for this purpose was added to the settings page Maintenance and test.
Version 4.3.31
status description
update Software update with integrated download
The update dialog now offers an integrated download for the update package. The downloaded package can be started from within the program. This makes update handling a lot easier.
update Performance at the beginning of a call
If call alarm signaling is off, and no categories exist which have special colors or balloon window sizes defined, the check for WAV attachments and categories in contacts is suppressed. This makes TAPICall perform better when a contact is called or being called.
update Cancel running QuickSync
QuickSync can now be canceled. The progress window has a 'close' button in the top right corner that wants to stop the synchronization immediately.
update Call control window after end of call
When the call control window opens, the menu item 'Open call control window for current call' would open. This is now.
update Update notification bugfix
Every 24 hours, TAPICall checks for program updates online. However, it would pop up in that same hour and be dismissed. This is now prevented.
update Wrong hint on missing search folder definition
On first start, or after deleting the search folder definitions, previous TAPICall versions would issue a warning about missing search folder definitions while they are actually referenced the default contacts folder. The warning for this situation was removed.
update Suppress QuickSync during settings wizard display
The QuickSync function is now suppressed as long as the settings window is open to prevent QuickSync from disturbing users while taking changes in the settings.
update Check for existing shadow copies of the product database and language file
Since Windows Vista, write access to files in the Program Files folder may cause a shadow copy of the modified file to be created in the so-called VirtualStore. This file is used to protect the files, but this happens in a different place in the user's profile. Windows wants to prefer the shadow copy over the original file if a shadow copy exists. This may not be effective. TAPICall now checks for shadow copies of the product database and language file, and issues a warning if anything is found.
Version 4.3.30
status description
update Fixed an error in folder hierarchy detection
The file would not work properly (MDB file would keep its initial size). This problem was fixed.
Version 4.3.29

update Classic dialog layout in settings
By popular request a menu that added to the settings dialog that can be used to switch between the modern layout layout and the legacy layout before 4.2.100
Version 4.3.28
status description
update Resuming previous call after call waiting
If a call comes in during an active call, the call waiting would replace the active call. If the second caller gives up, previous versions of TAPICall attempted to fall back to the call which was previously known as the active call, and continue it. This proved unreliable and was therefore disabled
update Fritz! Box call list import
During the import of lines from the Fritz! Box call list it could happen that the imported items were shown like actual calls with a balloon window and sound being player. This is now suppressed for imported items.
update QuickSync no longer executing while settings dialog is open
The QuickSync function is now suppressed as long as the settings dialog is shown
update Using extensions in look results from Local
Looking up a phone number with extension in Germany would cause the resulting contact to have only one phone number. TAPICall wants to fill in the phone number field (home / business), and the phone number that belongs to the lookup result (having the main desk extension -0) is put into the second field (home 2 / business 2)
Version 4.3.27
status description
update Hotkey correction
The modifier keys (shift, ctrl, alt, windows) were not evaluated properly. This was corrected.
update Online phone book herald (Austria)
The phone book connector needed to be rewritten due to extensive web site changes.
Version 4.3.26
status description
update Lookup provider selection in search window
To open the context menu offers the lookup engines on the Search button in the search window, you can now use the context menu key on the keyboard. Beginning with version 4.3.29, the alternative key combination Ctrl + Space is also possible.
update Creation of e-mails about missed calls (in absence)
Due to an internal error, e-mails about missed calls were created but not sent. They would be as draft items in the Draft folder. The problem was fixed.
Version 4.3.24
status description
update TAPI Wizard and Quick Sync launch conditions
Changes to settings like Telephony Connection, CTI, Canonic format TAPI Wizard, or the contact quick synchronization (Quick Sync) immediately when the appropriate settings page was left. This could be slow down the program to a degree where working with the settings dialog no longer possible. The subsequent processes are now only when the settings dialog is closed.
update Update to MAPI interface library
The Redemption MAPI interface was updated to 5.12.
Version 4.3.23
status description
update Update reminder
The reminder about program updates was not prominently enough in previous versions. TAPICall is now configured to check once a day for updates, and indicate if any exist in the update manager dialog.
update Speed dial with Fritz! Box mode
In Fritz! Box mode, speed dial entries could not be used any longer in previous versions. This was fixed.
update Reading the clipboard
TAPICall frequently failed to read the clipboard contents so that the search window would open with no search. The process has changed to the Clipboard API directly which should make the functional more stable and reliable.
update Fritz! Box call list download when a TAPI device is used
TAPICall in Fritz! Box mode, ie using the Fritz! Box instead of a TAPI service provider. When a classic TAPI driver was used, call list download was not possible. This was restored now. Settings are available at the end of the 'Call list' settings page where a Fritz! Box can be specified for call list download explicitly. If the Fritz! Box is thus the main phone device (no TSP usage), the call list can be downloaded as part of the Fritz! Box-related settings.
Version 4.3.22

Version 4.3.20
status description
update Keyboard shortcuts: internal rearrangement
To improve stability and reliability of global keyboard shortcuts such as F8 for opening the search window, the program code is simplified internally. TAPICall would not react to computerized keyboard combinations in some systems.
Version 4.3.19
status description
update Fritz! Box Fon Support
Fritz! Box Fon devices are now supported by TAPICall so the installation of AVM TSP is no longer required. The TSP is not supported by AVM anymore.
