[ANNOUNCEMENT] FoxTrot Search version 6 public beta available for testing and reporting
FoxTrot 6.0 beta 3 release notes
Welcome to the first public beta of FoxTrot Professional Search, FoxTrot Search Server and FoxTrot Personal Search.
One year in the making, this release is index-compatible with version 5.7 so you can run either alternatively without compromising your indices.
This release has been extensively tested in-house and we feel it is ripe for beta testing with our most dedicated users, which is why you are receiving this (as a member of the foxtrot-discuss Google group)

added a button to rebuild an index, when it is not started
▾ Enhanced multi-user and client-server features and license management (FoxTrot Pro 5 user and above & FoxTrot Search Server)
Simplified the File Sharing integration to reduce the risk of having access only to document text instead of rich documents from mounted servers
Added the ability to use a custom certificate for authenticated connections
Implemented certificate trust management for authenticated connections. (now you know what the letters CTM stands for)
Updated to use a modern OpenSSL version
After 5 failed login attempts, FoxTrot delays logging in for 15s, then 30s, 60s etc
In Admin, allows selecting multiple users to delete them

Optionally, FoxTrot Server can now automatically install its registration code to logged-in FoxTrot Pro clients

Now built using Apple’s latest XCode version 8 compilers
New minimum requirements: macOS 10.9 or later
removed dependency to deprecated QuickTime to preview video and audio files
▾ Better diagnostics
logged file exceptions include filenames
more detailed logging when in indexing is very slow
when processing a specific file takes longer than usual, the file name is now displayed in the “manage indices” progress.
▾ Synchronization of index files to iPad’s and iPhones running FoxTrot Attaché search
Added built-in Google drive support for maintaining up-to-date index archives from FoxTrot Pro or Server to iOS devices running FoxTrot Attaché Search
▾ Miscellaneous enhancements and other fixes

the index could stop responding when attempting to search for regular expressions on an index not configured to "store document textual contents"
an error message is now displayed when attempting to search for exact strings on an index not configured to "store document textual contents"
possible crash fixed on startup in certain circumstances
on macOS 10.11 and later, pinch-zooming would not work as expected
an "unregistered" dialog could appear when launching FoxTrot, when using regular expressions or exact matches
