Greetings!


BASIS International Ltd. releases AddonSoftware® by Barista® version 11.12. Highlights of this release are: 

  • Enhancements to Barista and AddonSoftware to allow "supplemental locks" in the Barista Record Locks file. This ensures that an AddonSoftware batch lock stays in place after the batch is created/selected, and allows an admin-level user to remove an orphaned lock. Also allows more than one record to be locked at a time.
  • Added "hidden" menu items to AddonSoftware menu to leverage enhancements to the Barista Security System.
  • New utility to mask credit card numbers ported from previous versions of AddonSoftware, and enhanced Cash Sale form to mask any new credit card numbers.
  • Support for Canadian French.
  • New default rules files for the Barista BUS/Install Application wizards that allow more granular control for comparing and overwriting data. In particular, the install_rules_bus_mod.txt file facilitates BUS updates against a modified version of AddonSoftware.
