Topic: Recorder 6 - Version 6.27 Release Candidate

A new version of Recorder 6 is now available as an upgrade  at www.Recorder6.info/6.27.0.1_ReleaseCandidate.zip

This is a full upgrade and will upgrade R6 from version 6.14.4 onwards.

It is Release Candidate version which means that it has been tested and we believe it to be ready for release, but would like to have it installed and used on a few systems before  making it generally available. We would be grateful to anyone willing to give it a try.

There are two main changes in this release.

1. The ability to import a second determination.
2. Changes to the mapping system to provide a way of securing the map data, including a way  of transfering the data between machines.

Please see the release notes for details of these and the other changes in this release. 

Please report any problems against this topic

Re: Recorder 6 - Version 6.27 Release Candidate

There have been some changes to the Release candidate following feedback. If you have already installed the 6.27.0.0 version then you can upgrade to this version 6.27.0.1 or wait for the release version which I hope will be available in July. Version  fixes a problem with the recovery of map files and changes the field length of 'Sample Duration' in the report wizard.  A further non critical problem reported  when selecting taxa while matching is being investigated and should be fixed in the final realease of  6.27.

What is happening with this upgrade, it was due in July, but the JNCC page is still stating the 6.26.2 is the current version and 6.27 isn't available to download (I know the candidate version is available via this thread)

Re: Recorder 6 - Version 6.27 Release Candidate

Hi

There was a problem on network systems with the map recovery.  Testing of the changes needed has proved difficult, because of the need to have a network system with multiple workstations in  test environment.   I think we are just about there now and hope to progress shortly.
