Highlights

Vision 5.5.0 brings a self-installing update flow, a complete pass through every supported language, faster login on cloud-hosted databases, and stronger support for enterprise deployments.

New features

• Self-update: Vision now offers new versions on launch and installs them itself. The running version closes, the new version starts automatically.

• Manual update check: The Help menu has a "Check for updates" item that shows the available version, toggles auto-check, and reports connection problems precisely (proxy authentication, DNS, host, TLS).

• IT-managed installations: Managed mode, notify mode, and remote sessions (RDP, Citrix XenApp, Azure Virtual Desktop) are detected. Where IT manages updates centrally, the update menu is hidden.

• Minimum version at database level: Administrators can require clients to meet a minimum version. Anyone opening an older client sees a dedicated dialog with the required version and can update inline.

• 19 languages fully translated: German, English, French, Polish, Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, Hungarian, Czech, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Turkish, Russian. Earlier gaps across fifteen languages are now closed; the build pipeline blocks any new translatable string missing one of the 19.

• New language picker: Each language now appears under its native name, sorted alphabetically. Cyrillic renders correctly.

• Live language switching: When you switch languages, the entire screen retranslates on the spot. Cylinder and key statuses, status bars, dropdowns, copy buttons, order labels, and report headers all update without restart.

• DORA-ready user and permissions export: A new export under user administration produces a complete record formatted for compliance reporting, including DORA. Runs on large datasets with progress shown; the form cannot be closed during the export.

Improvements

• Faster login on cloud-hosted databases: Roughly half the time it was in 5.4.4. Three repeated reads against the settings table were collapsed into one; two startup operations were deferred until first use.

• Faster reports with key copies: Reports that include key copy counts now bulk-load the counts in a single query instead of one row at a time. Noticeable on systems with thousands of cylinders.

• Startup diagnostics: Vision records timing information for every startup phase to a small file in your AppData folder. The file holds the last 30 launches. From the Help menu, choose "Open diagnostic folder" to find the file if support asks for it.

Bug fixes

• Order header form: Labels no longer overlap.
