So, while it looks like the beta will be available tomorrow Tuesday, here's the link with the new features, fixes and enhancements included in JFW 15. http://www.freedomscientific.com/downloads/magic/MAGic-whats-new.asp#upgrade It's also available on FS's front page. While I wasn't too excited about the upgrade since I figured it would be mostly Windows 8 and touch screen centric, I am pleased with the fixes that were supposedly addressed. Especially the third party braille display driver thing and foreign language stuff. Not to mention other details like rss notification in Firefox and Outlook and IE bugs being squashed.

You have to first install the new SMA versions before the auto update feature works. So version 14 looks for version 14 updates only. Once the beta is installed, we intend on each update, including the release, to be detected via Auto Updates going forward.

I stand corrected.

Sorry, but for the past couple of years, I do recall that the beta shows in JAWS updates when it is available, if you have the current full JAWS version installed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <ow...@jaws-users.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, September 09, 2013 1:37 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Beta Release > Nothing has changed for a long time.
