Activesync 3.8 Released
We've just had word that Activesync 3.8 has just been released. You can get it here. There's no word on what this fixes and the included "Readme.doc" file only refers to Activesync version 3.7. So, who will be first to take the plunge and see how this works in practise? 8)
Update by Janak: Straight from Microsoft: "ActiveSync 3.8 contains a set of security enhancements that provide a more secure syncing experience with a Windows PC, specifically:
- Windows XP SP2 security pop up warnings that appear the first time a Windows Mobile devices is docked have been eliminated
- Remote PC Sync (via Wifi or LAN) is turned off by default. However, users can turn this functionality back on."
Therefore, I wouldn't bother installing it if the current version of AS is working for you -- this is more useful for installs on a new PC.

Downloaded... installed without a hitch... just waiting for my laptop to reboot.
(Crossing fingers at the moment!)

Ok... nothing obvious is different.
My PPC sync'd again to my laptop with no problems via a travel sync cable - I had no errors or unsync'd files before and nothing after.
A very quick look through the options didn't suggest anything major added.
So far so good... I'd be interested in knowing what has been updated.

Just installed it. Seems faster.
2 new things I noticed (not sure if they were there already):
- Pass-Through (what the hell is that)?
- Ability to export the PIM databases to Access.

If you are using an AvantGo version other than the default v3.3, you must reinstall it. I had to reinstall AvantGo v5.7.

Both were there. Passthrough allows your PPC to access the internet via your desktop when connected. Exporting is for .mdb files, not PIM databases. Passthrough was put in for AS 3.1 or 3.5 (Pocket PC 2002) and the import/export databases has been there since 3.0.

Hmm...
I don't know maybe this is a welcome update.
But does this mean that Activesync 4.0 and WM2005 are NOT as close as we thought (translated: hoped)? :cry:
