Release: Arc and Slice v4.6.0

To expand on the setup notes for the Arc Messenger feature.

  1. To get the Arc Messenger connected after installing 4.6.0, you MUST set the messengerpassword parameter in the settings.yml file. This password ensures only valid clients can connect to the messenger system.

  2. Subsequently, all Arc clients must set the Server Password to the agreed password in their User Preferences:

    While you’re in there, set your Display Name to something cool, like "l33ttm1c0nsult4nt2002" :smiley:

  3. Note also that the messenger is per-tm1 instance. That means only users logged in to a tm1 instance will become available in the recipients list for that instance.

  4. The “broadcast” feature (send to all logged in users) requires admin permissions on the tm1 server. If the broadcast checkbox is disabled, check your tm1 security settings.
