Update mechanism changed
July 25th, 2009
If you are running Sonic Message Manager with Java version 1.6.0_10 or later, the update policy for Sonic Message Manager has been changed.
Java Web Start will now check for updates in the background, while starting the application. When an update has been found, you will be informed of this the next time you start the application and you will have the option to install it.
This improves startup times because the update check is no longer done before starting the app. It should also dramatically improve startup time when you are not connected to the internet.
