Winthrop Development Consultants is pleased to announce Build 13 of Batch Posting Service Toolkit (BPST) for Microsoft Dynamics GP was released on 21-Aug-2023.

This build includes improvements to the registration and installer systems.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: With the release of build 13 and with the aim of removing all builds with the security vulnerability, support for build 11 will be discontinued at the end of 2023. Support for build 10 and earlier has already been discontinued. The final released build for each version of Microsoft Dynamics GP will not be discontinued. Sites running discontinued builds need to update before their subscriptions can be renewed. It is recommended that ALL sites update to the latest build to take advantage of the new features, enhancements and fixes.

Build 13 of Batch Posting Service Toolkit is available for the following Microsoft Dynamics GP versions:

• Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 and GP 2018 R2 (v18.0)
• Microsoft Dynamics GP Modern Lifecycle (v18.2)
• Microsoft Dynamics GP Modern Lifecycle (v18.3)
• Microsoft Dynamics GP Modern Lifecycle (v18.4)
• Microsoft Dynamics GP Modern Lifecycle (v18.5)

Installer Critical Update

Critical Update: The InstallAware software used to create the installers for our products has been updated to resolve a recently identified critical DLL preloading vulnerability. As a copy of the installer remains on the machine for maintenance, update, removal, and repair tasks, the risk is ongoing until the system is updated with the fixed installer (build 12 or later).

The Installer has been updated to allow Microsoft Dynamics GP to be launched upon completion, if desired.

System Enhancements

The Registration system now includes an Email Distribution List which can be used to include additional email addresses to be cc’d on communications.

The Registration System has also been updated to ensure that old keys remain in the system if no new keys are available. This will keep the 30 day grace period running until it expires, at which time the software will cease to function.

When installing, the system will perform an update check to make sure that you are installing the latest code available for your version of Microsoft Dynamics GP.

Other Enhancements

For a detailed change log, look at the PostServ.txt file which is also installed with Batch Posting Service Toolkit into the Microsoft Dynamics GP application folder. To see the updated documentation, look at the user guide which is also installed with the product.
