During the past years we have consistantly improved the audio and video recording system in Pamela. In Pamela 4.6 some major improvements were done in the video recording system.

However, we still see that some areas of the audio recorder can be improved. The core engine we’re using there is already a bit older so we thought it is time for an overhaul.

Pamela 4.7 will have a complete new recording code module on which the audio and video recording will be based. This core system will perform a lot better and also use even less CPU as 4.6. This is one of the main objectives, improve performance and at the same time “modulize” the engine so that we are flexible to expand it in future.

Talking about future, we will be starting the development of Pamela5 as soon as 4.7 is out the door. I can’t say too much except that Pamela5 will be a massive change from what Pamela has been offering till today. You will not loose any functionality but there will be a lot of very interesting new things. I’m sure you’ll like the new approach and idea. More on this later!

Please note that the currency is only available for China and Malaysian residents.

Bugfix: Irregular display of dialog “No sound data from Skype” although sound was OK

You can update for free by opening Pamela and clicking on “Help” and “Check for update”.

Our plans moving forward are the release of Pamela 4.7. The main changes here will be the new sound engine which we will be using for Pamela5 as well as some fixes. The next release is not a feature release but we will add a “Recording Info” option which allows you to see all the details of a particular recording.

We also thought it was time to integrate the website of Pamela Call Recorder into the main Pamela website. Pamela Call Recorder has now replaced Pamela Standard which is no longer available. The reason is that we feel that Pamela Call Recorder is much better value for your money than Pamela Standard.

All existing customer will be able to continue to use Pamela Standard and when we launch 5.0 we will provide an upgrade path.

Changes:
Bugfix: Recording did not appear in recording list when connection to Skype was lost.
Bugfix: Recording did not appear in recording list when a new call was received during an active recording.
Bugfix: On Windows7 there was an error when recording Skype video when the Skype window was outside the desktop area.
Bugfix: Potential crash at the end of a call recording.
Change: Call recording warning disabled by default.
Change: Major improvements in audio engine of Pamela which improves the performance of Pamela.

To update just open Pamela and click on the Help menu and then “Check for update”. This will provide you with the correct update version. Download and run the setup which will update Pamela to the latest version. All your data and settings will remain untouched.

Note that upgrades are free for our free and license customers.

The changes in this build are:

Change: Changed the way Skype video is detected for more reliable recording.
Bugfix: Uninstaller does not remove the Pamela folder in Program Files.
Bugfix: Fixed greyed out recording buttons in some situations after starting a Skype call.

The good news is that based on the sent in reports, there were no more crash fixes required.

To upgrade open Pamela, click on “Help” and then “Check for update”. Download, install and enjoy.
