Chronicall 3.10 Technical Update

Embedded Java

With the new embedded Java there will be a change to installing
and updating Chronicall that will need to be noted.
1. There is no need to install or update the active Java on any
supported operating systems i.e., Linux or Windows.
2. Embedded Java will not interfere with any existing Java on
supported operating systems.
3. It will simplify installing, updating, and supporting Chronicall.
4. The new version of Java will have a new garbage collection,
reducing the hang or freezing from garbage collecting.

Installers and updaters

Chronicall installers will now extract the files needed for installation
and updates into a user designated file. The new release of Chronicall
will alter how you normally install and update Chronicall.

  1. Chronicall installers and updaters will run automatically, but
    will not clean up after itself. Instead, it will create two files:
    a. Extractor Tool file
    b. Install files
  2. Java will not have to be updated manually.
    a. Linux will have separate updaters for Debian
    and Redhat.
