Product Updates - July 2007  - Technical Upgrades

• Added redundancy for database load balancer.
  • Will immediately swap to direct access to primary database should load balancer fail.

  • In worst case scenario (izBack) any changes to website may be lost during downtime unless manually copied across.

• Enhanced detection of updated images via cache patch.
  • This ensures that all member sites are now using the same code for recover password
