Hello,
ReleaseNotes.html that is present in AmiBroker directory.
> It's a serious question... a plea really... is there a way of
> improving access to this kind of info...?
That's a bit difficult. In the past release notes were part of the User's Guide.
But since release notes are huge now, and would bump the size
of printed guide by 200+ (?) pages or so, they are not part of user's guide
anymore, but available as separate document.
As Herman noted placing shortcut on the desktop to release notes
doc and read me is good idea because, because even if things can not be found
in the official guide they still are covered in the change log.
It is a bit difficult to have one document (guide) that fits all.
If it is too detailed, then it can be seen as "too advanced",
if is is easy to follow/read then it would miss the details.
Maybe different guides at different levels of complexity, but then
searching multiple guides is an issue.
I realize, more than some may think that I am, that documentation
could and should be improved in many areas. And I am working with each
release to make it better. It does not happen in a day because it is
really a task to update 900+ pages of the guide alone.
I belive that Howard's new book will fit perfectly as introduction to AmiBroker
and "first level/absolute beginner" help. I will need to take care about the rest.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
