>Subject: OpenSRS Live Reseller Update - 03/19/02
>
>Greetings -
>
>Please find following an update on OpenSRS.
>
>1. Upcoming maintenance release
>-----------------
>We are pleased to announce that the next maintenance release
>of OpenSRS will go live on March 21st, 2002. These are currently
>available in the OT&E (Horizon) system for you to test at your
>leisure.
>
>Included in this release:
>
>**IDN Transfer Functionality - Internationalized Domain Names
>(aka Multilingual Domains) can now be transferred both between
>Tucows Resellers and between Tucows and other IDN registrars.
>
>**Further Renewal Enhancement - The 24-hour renewal reminder
>for resellers (not end users) has been moved. This reminded was
>scheduled for the day OF deletion and has now been moved to the
>day BEFORE deletion.
>
>**End User communications for .CA Changes - End users are now
>informed of .ca names being in a critical change state caused by
>modifications made to the admin contact in the manage interface.
>
>**Misleading "Domain Taken" Messages - Occasionally, when
>availability queries are made on domains, the request cannot be
>processed by the registry operator. The error message that used
>to be "domain taken" has been revised to read "query cannot be
>completed at this time, please try again in a few minutes." This
>issue has been particularly noticeable with .biz registrations,
>which is where the greatest impact is expected.
>
>**Add Affiliate ID to Renew Attributes - The ability to add
>affiliate IDs to renewal transactions has been added. Resellers
>with affiliates will now be able to track and report on the
>renewals activity of their affiliates.
>
>**Reseller Transfer Confirmation - Resellers can now recieve an
>e-mail confirmation when a transfer is completed. This e-mail
>is completely configurable via the RWI in the section called
>"Transfer Management"
>
>**Transfer Key Enhancements - There are two enhancements dealing
>with the clarification of terms and the caching of transfer keys.
>- The word "Password" has been changed to "Transfer Key" in
> transfer e-mails and on the confirmation page to alleviate
> registrant confusion.
>
>- Transfer Keys are now cached and tied to an order until it is
> completed or cancelled. This allows registrants with transfer
> requests that have already been accepted or declined to be
> notified accordingly when attempting to respond a second time.
>
>Formal documentation and more detailed descriptions of these
>enhancements is available today at:
>
>http://opensrs.org/documentation.shtml
>
>As always - thanks for your continued support of OpenSRS!
