4. RELEASE NOTES
-----------------

4.1	dpFTConvertDB.exe Database Conversion Utility
Databases created with DigitalPersona database functions (dpDBase module) are affected by the fact that XTF templates are used by default for template registration, due to the increase in size of the registration templates. The dpFTConvertDB.exe utility can be used to convert such databases to new ones with a specified template size.

4.2	Support for Windows Vista
This version now supports the new Windows Vista 32-bit operating system.

4.3	Support for new keyboard with U.are.U reader
This version includes a new WHQL driver that supports the newer U.are.U 4000B reader Rev 101, and the new DigitalPersona Fingerprint Keyboards.

4.4	New Installer method (Microsoft Install Framework) was used to install device drivers. 


----------------
5. KNOWN ISSUES 
----------------

5.1    This product version has not been certified on Windows 98 and NT4.

5.2    Due to new security features introduced in Windows Vista, silent install/uninstall commands have to be issued from a DOS session that had been invoked as an administrator.

5.3    After an upgrade install to Gold 3.2 from Gold 2.2.x, the U.are.U 2000 and 4000 readers may not work immediately. The user has to manually update the device driver through Windows Device Manager. Reboot the machine if necessary.
