v3.99.15 beta - a solid stride forward

Posted on 23:20 by Unknown
I'm happy to report I finished the second beta tonight. This one is another large stride towards v4 final, and I'm glad to finally have it done. More work remains before final, but let me try to actually express what this new beta changes (since the last beta) in a somewhat useful and structured way.

First, the activation system has been expanded. This involved both back-end (server) and product work. I had to design it just right, to allow a variety of scenarios. You can now copy&paste the activation code right into the edit box. You also enter you name, which is shown in the About box that sports a new PRO bitmap as well ;). Unfortunately, for those that activated any previous build, you'll have to activate again. If you have ANY troubles, please email me immediately at support@bitsum.com and I'll fix them up ASAP.

This build also overhauls internal stuff you don't care about, but might if you're in a rare situation Specifically, inter-process communication stuff -- For example, so the core engine knows when 'you' told it to stop, or just looked to see if it was already running. However, this overhaul was only in relation to multi-user and governor as a service environments, and may not have actually improved any real-world situation.

Lastly, makes numerous cosmetic changes throughout. Some warnings are reworded, and may be reworded again. Some warnings added. Other minor tweaks made...

Many other little things were changed too, of course...
