Folks!
We just posted Beta 5 to the web site. We have been addressing
various issues since Beta 4 was posted. From my perspective,
this release appears to be very, very good. I hope you find the same
thing to be true. I want to ship OT 3.1 to all our customers! As
many of you have emailed me, this release is CONSIDERABLY faster than
OT 3.0, and I want all our customers to benefit from the improvements
as soon as possible.
Our goal is to produce the first CD this weekend, and get OT 3.1 out
to all customers in about a week. BUT, that doesn't mean we're going
to stop working on the software! If you find anything that
needs attention in this release, email me and we will work on it.
If we are able to reproduce the problem here, we may send a test file
to you to determine if your problem has been solved.
I have personally downloaded data for many profiles, of all data
types, and the entire system appears to be functioning flawlessly.
If you are having data collection problems, it will help if you can
turn on logging (on the Communications Log tab on the Data Settings
dialog) and send us the file, COMM.LOG.
Well, that's about it for now. On behalf of all the staff members
here at Nirvana, thank you again for all your help in testing this
release. We have quite a "Hall of Fame" of customers who have been
helping us test the 3.1 enhancements, and I want to publicly
recognize each of you for your valuable support, help, patience, and
time. The 3.1 release is really a credit to you, not me.
If I have any news tomorrow, I will pass it on. Thanks...
