1. Request a necessary reply in the notifications
MyChat messenger has a special tool for guaranteed notification delivery to any amount of people (Ctrl+F9).
Previously, you could send any notification and request a return receipt. Now you can request a necessary reply too:
A recipient sees a message on top of all windows, in the center of a screen. It cannot be moved, hidden or ignored. A notification shows up even if a person is working in a terminal session.
The window does not close until you send a reply:
A sender sees answers and time when his notifications were read.
2. Response messages from Telegram to MyChat corporate messenger
In MyChat v6.1 we made integration with Telegram messenger. In v6.3 we improved this technology, so now you can reply to the Telegram bot, and a message will be sent to a specific person in MyChat.
You get a bilateral communication:
A message from Telegram messenger to MyChat:

3. View conversation logs on the server
On MyChat Server in the Admin control panel, in the “Tools” -> “Protogols” section we updated the conversation history viewer of conferences and private conversations:
We have completely redesigned the history appearance: now it looks nicer, you can see images, files, text markup. Images and files can be opened by mouse clicking.
Messages download speed highly increased. The messages inquiry about a few days works almost instantly.
Now the messages log is not written in the text files but stores in the local SQLite database on the server. Speed and compactness in its finest form.
4. Various improvements
Shift+mouse click on file in the chat:
In MyChat Distrib Maker you can add plug-ins which are extract automatically even if MyChat Client setup file is installed over the previous version.
We also made options for automatic messages history download in MyChat Client conferences and/or in private conversations:
On MyChat Server in the “Settings” -> “Service” section we added an option for automatic deleting of obsolete images and files which were sent to the chat. By default, files which are older than 90 days are deleted to avoid the disk space exhaustion on the server.
