Vantage Update 2.2.0.48 – New Loaders, Features and Fixes
Thursday, July 29th, 2010
We’ve just released an update to the Vantage range of application, including the Web Module.
This release will be welcomed with open arms by many customers for the following reasons:

Multi-select / delete options, Ajax progress indicators to avoid page refreshes, export from Dynamics Report tab and more (see below) - Fixes to the Microsoft Forefront TMG loader
