I have downloaded and installed both FoxTrot Professional and FoxTrot
Server. FoxTrot Professional is installed on Intel and PowerPC Macs
all running 10.5.8. FoxTrot Server is installed on an Xserver running
10.5.8 server.


Install went fine, FoxTrot used the previous settings and index
without issue.

We still have problems with the index disconnecting during Updating
and occasionally on searches. But it is not any worse than FoxTrot
2.0.4 was.

One bug with FoxTrot 2.5 is that when you manually start an index it
remains grayed out and unavailable for searches until you click off
the index, then on it again. This happens with both the server and
professional.

The connection to the FoxTrot Server is unstable when you first
connect, but it seems to stop disconnecting after a short period of
time.

There is a large difference in the size of the index made by the
Professional and Server of the same volume. And a small difference in
the number of files found.
FoxTrot Professional - Indexed files: 463,541 Index Size: 951MiB
FoxTrot Server - Indexed Files: 463,930 Index Size: 259MiB
