Important new features!

POS Collect
A new “Collect” tab allows operators to process service fees automatically when a commercial arrangement is in place, simplifying transactions and reducing administration work. This optional feature can be enabled in the POS settings.
Online coordination services
This feature replaces local coordination services on POS devices, which can occasionally cause syncing issues. Key improvements include bin management with an internet connection, automatic background syncing, and database creation during POS upgrades. Devices at sites with intermittent internet will sync with the online database once the connection is restored.
.NET Maui 8
The POS system has upgraded to .NET Maui 8, enhancing performance and logging. Note that support for .NET Maui 6 and iOS 16 is ending. Version 8 will be supported for three years and improves handling of delayed actions.
Crash reporting and bug fixes
We’ve integrated a new crash reporting system called Sentry.io into version 6.3. This system sends instant crash reports to CES, collects detailed App and device data and captures actions leading to crashes. It also delivers bug fixes including the recent print manifest issue.
