Re: Beta release of Recorder 6 version 6.9.2 (as an upgrade only)
Beta release of V6.9.2 (upgrade)
A beta copy of Recorder version 6.9.2 (upgrade only) is now available to download at http://forums.nbn.org.uk/recorderWebsite/upgrades.htm
Users can now upgrade their current version of Recorder 6 to V6.9.2 and test this new version if they wish.
Version 6.9.2 includes compatibility with SQL Server 2005 and SQL Express, as well as enhancements to some areas of functionality such as the Import Wizard, XML reporting, Extract Grid Squares function and Terms lists. Version 6.9.2 also includes a large number of bug fixes (see the release notes provided on the uploads page at http://forums.nbn.org.uk/uploads.php for more details). I have also provided a list of potential bugs in V6.9.2 (or previous) that have already been reported to Dorset Software.
As mentioned previously we would like the next release of Recorder 6 in October to be as stable as possible and would encourage users to report any bugs found as soon as they can.
Please report any potential bugs on the Recorder forum under the ‘Troubleshooting and bug reports’ section at http://forums.nbn.org.uk/viewforum.php?id=6, or alternatively email JNCC at Recorder@JNCC.gov.uk.
Users need to report any potential bugs before Friday 29th September 2006 if they are to be considered by Dorset Software and potentially fixed in the next version. The next version is scheduled to be released in early October (dependent on the number of bugs found). This will be a full release with both standalone and network installation CD's available.
I would like to stress that this is a beta release only and therefore wouldn't recommend upgrading a live system at this stage.
Thank you again for assistance and support,
Best wishes,
Sarah
