I have been a developer since before most of you were born. The SVNs are alpha releases. Get over it. Rebuild the database. How long does it take? I am so tired of hearing all of this bitching and complaining. In the first place, all of us knew or should have known, this is new territory.

All There has been a lot of talk lately on data bases, SVN's and don't look a gift horse in the mouth. I would like to make a suggestion. Even though we have a program that we can transfer data between the old and the new data bases, and I have MS Access and can do all kinds of things with

Jim, Yes, I agree that this was a reasonable trade as long as this design decision doesn't get carried forward to the new product. (I have to plead ignorance regarding how the new design will implement the storage of user settings.) Though I am generally pessimistic about fixes that are

Mark, No it's not a requirement to generate a new database, but there are times that additional information needs to be stored in the local database, which changes the overall relationship. They do try to hold down the changes, but particularly between major changes, many things get added

For sure Chuck, I have a hard time remembering that a release such as v1.10.2 is a beta and a SVN such as 1875 is an alpha that we are privileged to help check out. Our comments on the SVN code should be restricted to constructive comments to an open source programmer checking out his code! I
