The Cutek Blog

The USPS has notified Cutek that the current cycle L API used by Correio version 2.09 will expire on July 31, 2009. If you are a Correio client, this means that your copy of Correio will cease to function and must be upgraded by the end of this month. Fortunately, the upgrade process should be fairly quick and painless.

We have been testing a new build of Correio that uses the new Cycle M API and we expect to finish testing and deliver the new build for all Correio clients by early next week. We  have received new Cycle M AMS database disks from the USPS and we are shipping these to all Correio clients.

The new Cycle M AMS database disks will not work with Correio version 2.09 and you should not try to update Correio 2.09 with these new disks. Instead, you should wait until you receive both the new download link for the new version of Correio as well as a new Cycle M DVD. If you are a Correio client, you will receive upgrade instructions next week in the mail along with the new database disk(s).

Please note that you will not need to change any specfiles on your Symitar host to use the new version of Correio; your existing specfiles will work with the new Correio build the same as they have in the past. However, we will be providing enhanced specfiles, with an expected delivery in August, to take advantage of several new features in the Cycle M builds. We will provide further details on these enhancements when the specfiles are available for download, but here is a short list of some of the more important enhancements we have planned:

• Abbreviated Address support
• Abbreviated City Support
• Blind-post without the need to grant additional privileges to your users
• New ADDRESSCHANGE form with additional fields

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

Thanks,

Ray Pennisi – Correio Product Manager
