SP1 is available from MSDN Subscribers downloads

We support now 64 bits clients, SQL 2008 as well as Hyper-V.

Here are the major improvements:

  • CCF Hosted Application Toolkit (HAT) allows Composite Data Driven Adapters. The Composite DDA is an extension to the current DDA architecture. Previously, you could assign only one DDA type to an application. This means that only the functionality that was provided by this DDA could be used to automate the application. In some cases, an application might need different technologies, provided by different DDAs to access the required functionality. An example for this could be a Java applet in a web application. The only way to add functionality was by extending a DDA. The Composite DDA architecture overcomes this limitation by enabling the use of multiple DDAs for one application.
  • Dynamic positioning:  CCF uses the SetParent method to set the external application’s root window as the child window of Integrated Desktop. However, you cannot use the SetParent method for some applications (For example, WinForms 1.1 MDI applications). You can use Dynamic Positioning for these applications and host them as child windows inside the ID. Dynamic Positioning monitors the size and position of ID and dynamically adjust the size and position of the external application.
  • Multiple instances on same machine: CCF 2009 SP1 supports running multiple instances of the Integrated Desktop on any machine; hence, making it possible to host Integrated Desktop (with Citrix applications) in Citrix servers.
  • DCS (Distributed Connectivity Services) has been enhanced to support TCP/IP binding Policy and better Cache usage (online first, used expired mode)
  • MCE (Multi Channel Engine) has a new container for Microsoft Office Sharepoint (MOSS)
