I have been using the beta for some time now and when I first downloaded I had to ping Adam and say "wow". Samtime 7.5.1 is like lightening. Popups are instant - it looks and feels great!
Some of the new features below:
- Auto status change based on e-mail calendar: You can opt to have your Sametime presence automatically change when your calendar shows you in a meeting.
- Off the record mode: Just like it sounds like - you can use this to keep your chat partner from locally saving the conversation (it'll still be archived on the server, if your company does so).
- Primary contacts: This is a very popular feature used by a lot of people in IBM. This plug-in allows you to drag your most frequent contacts into a separate area in the client and use their images as a mini buddy list.
- Screen capture annotation: We've enhanced the screen capture tool to allow you to annotate (draw on) the screen captures before sending them.
- Chat history search: Search across all of your saved chat transcripts
- Automatically send e-mail if user is offline: If you try to send a message to a chat partner who has gone offline, you will be prompted to send the message via e-mail instead (with the chat conversation automatically included in the e-mail)
- Edge-to-edge full-screen Web conferencing view: Full-screen mode in Sametime Web conferencing now covers your entire screen (like when running a presentation in screen show mode). We also added keyboard controls are available for advancing slides, and alerts are available to let you know when someone raises their hand or when a new group chat is entered.
- Faster meeting start-up and improved application sharing performance: Web conferences are quicker to start up, and by default, application sharing now uses a faster compression algorithm for faster application sharing sessions.
