Update on V6.9.3 progress

I just wanted to provide a quick update regarding the progress of V6.9.3 and to reassure everyone that we are continuing to work towards providing this upgrade as soon as we can.

We have received a copy of V6.9.3 here at JNCC from Dorset Software and although not complete, we have made significant progress with testing the upgrade.

We will continue to test this next week, following which I hope to provide an estimated date of release. Until the testing is complete, it is very difficult to say when the upgrade will be ready. If we do uncover any critical problems with V6.9.3 then we would have to go back to Dorset Software and have these fixed before release.

I appreciate that it is frustrating to everyone who is awaiting changes both to the software and the dictionary, and will endeavour to provide you with more information as soon as I can.

Once again, thank you for support and patience

Best wishes,

Sarah

Update on V6.9.3 progress - 28th November 2006

Although further testing will continue, we aim to provide V6.9.3 (upgrade only) on the Recorder Software website (see http://forums.nbn.org.uk/recorderWebsite/upgrades.htm) by Friday 8th December.

V6.9.3 will include the Dictionary Upgrade Kit and an update to the species dictionary.

I have also updated the Recorder 6 Development Plan and uploaded this (see ‘Outline of Recorder 6 Development Plan for forum revised 28 Nov 06’ at http://forums.nbn.org.uk/uploads.php).

Kind regards,

Sarah
