UltraLite 7.0.1 introduces several new features:
New synchronization stream for Palm Computing Platform In addition to the current ULPalmDBStream synchronization stream, a new synchronization stream is available for the Palm Computing Platform in this release. The new stream is called ULConduitStream, and in many circumstances this stream can provide dramatic performance improvements for HotSync synchronization.
This feature supercededA new conduit-based synchronization stream introduced in version 8.0.0 supercedes both ULPalmDBStream and ULConduitStream. |
Monitoring and canceling synchronization You can view synchronization status and build the ability to cancel synchronization into your UltraLite applications.
User authentication in MobiLink MobiLink synchronization now has its own user authentication scheme. Password fields and methods have been added to the UltraLite synchronization parameters to take advantage of this scheme.
For more information, see Network protocol options for UltraLite synchronization streams.
New platforms for secure synchronization You can now use the transport-layer security features for synchronization from a wider range of target platforms, including Windows CE on the Hitachi SH4 chip, and VxWorks on Intel x86 chips and on the Windows VxSim emulator.

Synchronization on Windows CE.
VxWorks unsupported in version 9Support for the VxWorks platform is dropped entirely in version 9. |
Non-synchronizing tables You can include tables in the reference database that are included in the UltraLite database, but are not synchronized. Other than synchronization, the tables can be used like any other table in the remote database.
Windows CE emulator support enhancements You can now run UltraLite applications under Windows CE x86 emulators.
Synchronization optimization Client applications can specify that a synchronization includes only uploads, and that no download phase should be attempted. This option lessens the overall synchronization time when only uploads are needed, especially over slow communication links.
For more information, see Network protocol options for UltraLite synchronization streams.
Automatic HTTP version detection The MobiLink server now detects and uses the HTTP version used by each client. This capability renders the version parameter on the MobiLink server -x option redundant.
For information on the MobiLink server command line, see MobiLink Server Options.
Client port specification You can specify, at a client, a range of ports used by a client during synchronization. This feature can be useful when synchronizing from a client inside a firewall to a MobiLink server outside.
