Patch 10: SMS sends failing due to null values in message payloads¶
5 August, 2026
Digital Integration
We've fixed an issue where sending an SMS could fail with an error, caused by null values in the message payload not being handled correctly when serialised to JSON.
To apply this fix:
- Install the FastStats Email Response Gatherer version 1.0.26033.23 or later contained within the DigitalIntegration.zip file.
Patch 9: Application files blocked by Windows Defender¶
5 August, 2026
We've fixed an issue where some application files were not code signed by Apteco, which could cause Windows Defender SmartScreen to block their installation. All application files are now code signed.
If you haven't experienced this issue, no action is required. If Windows Defender SmartScreen is blocking one of your Apteco application files, download the latest version of the affected component from the Software Releases portal and reinstall. See Applying patches for instructions.
Patch 8: BinaryDictionary memory allocation with text keys¶
5 August, 2026
Designer
We've fixed an issue where building a system with text keys in Designer created temporary files far larger than necessary. File size scaled with both the number of records and the key size, increasing temporary disk space usage and affecting performance during the build. Temporary file size now scales with the number of records only.
To apply this fix:
- Install FastStats Designer version 1.3.26033.35 or later contained within the Designer.zip file.
Patch 7: Cube caching failed queries¶
11 June, 2026
FastStats Service FastStats Designer
We've fixed an issue where failed queries on sparse cubes were incorrectly added to the cube cache, causing all subsequent submissions of the same query to fail.
To apply this fix:
- Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.26033.20 or later contained within the WebService.zip file.
- Use the FastStats Configurator to upgrade the FastStats Service to version 1.3.26033.26 or later.
-
Use the FastStats Configurator to upgrade the FastStats Binaries to version 1.1.26033.27 or later.
Note
FastStats Local users need to install version 1.1.26033.27 or later, contained within the FastStatsLocal.zip file.
-
Install FastStats Designer version 1.3.26033.29 or later contained within the Designer.zip file.
Patch 6: Distributed processing cube cache¶
11 June, 2026
FastStats Service
We've fixed an issue where cube queries could return an error when distributed processing was enabled. If a cube fails to run in a distributed manner the system now falls back to running the query sequentially, rather than returning an error. This improves the reliability of systems that use distributed processing.
To apply this fix:
- Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.26033.20 or later contained within the WebService.zip file.
- Use the FastStats Configurator to upgrade the FastStats Service to version 1.3.26033.26 or later.
Patch 5: Designer enhanced build orphan counts - may cause a mis-join and/or invalid results¶
20 May, 2026
Designer
We've fixed an issue in the Designer enhanced build process where record and orphan counts could be incorrect when you configured the system to load orphans and grand-orphans were present. This issue could cause crashes when you ran queries, a mis-join, and/or invalid results. The process now calculates counts correctly.
To apply this fix:
- Install FastStats Designer version 1.3.26033.22 or later contained within the Designer.zip file.
Patch 4: Log Viewer crash¶
20 May, 2026
FastStats Service
We've fixed an issue where the Log Viewer crashed with a stack overflow error that affected both client systems and Apteco Cloud instances.
To apply this fix:
- Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.26033.14 or later contained within the WebService.zip file.
Patch 3: Live Data installation¶
1 April, 2026
Utilities
We've fixed an issue where the Live Data installer was missing required DLL files necessary for database connections.
To apply this fix:
- Install the FastStats Live Data Setup version 1.0.26033.11 or later contained within the Utilities.zip file.
Patch 2: FastStats Service crash with optimised query code¶
1 April, 2026
FastStats Service
We've fixed a crash that could occur in the FastStats Service when a complex selection involving data grids filtered by multiple conditions was run with optimisations enabled.
To apply this fix:
- Install the FastStats Configurator version 1.3.26033.9 or later contained within the WebService.zip file.
- Use the FastStats Configurator to upgrade the FastStats Service to version 1.3.26033.11 or later.
Patch 1: RunFastStatsJob utility fix¶
25 March, 2026
Utilities
The RunFastStatsJob utility stopped working due to a missing .dll file. The utility now runs correctly in both local and remote environments.
To apply this fix:
- Install the RunFastStatsJob utility version 1.0.26033.9 or later contained within the Utilities.zip file.
