8. Improved door open logs [Relevant Article]

  • User can see detailed information for “Door Unlocked” events.
9. Added logs to indicate total capacity on devices  
  • Affected on all firmware, the error code from the device will be sent to BioStar 2 event log, this event log can not be found in device log. 
  • BioStar 2 Version 2.9.0 now allows the user to know the exact reason for the cause of device synchronization failure.

In previous versions, the alert message for device synchronization was simply stating “Sync Error.”  

Now, with BioStar 2 Version 2.9.0, it shows alert messages with clear reasoning for device synchronization failure.   

After checking the reason for Sync Error, users will now be able to fix the problem at hand and use BioStar 2 and devices properly.  

BioStar 2 Version 2.9.0  

Newly Added Sync Error indications

    - Sync Error (Exceeded max user count)
    - Sync Error (Exceeded max fingerprint count)
    - Sync Error (Exceeded max card count) 
    - Sync Error (Exceeded max face count)

If you need help with finding out the full capacity of the device you are currently using, please visit SUPREMA Website : [Product] -> [Hardware] section to find out more details about your device in the “Specification” section of each device as shown below. 

  

10. Improved security vulnerabilities 

  • Improved Unquoted Service Path Vulnerability  
  • Improved Clickjacking vulnerability  
  • Improved minor vulnerabilities 
11. Improved error messages showing reasons for CSV import failure.  

The Chrom browser’s security policy has made the CSV import path be stated as a “fake path”, 

which has caused confusion for some users questioning if their files have been selected properly or not. 

So, we have now edited the error message being shown in the path part of CSV import.
