Hi Dave, > How to I get a Beta license for the latest 2.9 Beta release?
Thanks so much for asking, I was just about to post to the list a plea for people to test. As many long-time list participants know, we are reaching the end of long process to release Revolution 2.9, which I sincerely believe will be the most functional, most reliable, and highest-quality version of the product ever released. Our goal with this edition is to ensure there's absolutely no reason to use any other version of the software. (We know there a few hold outs who have stuck with Revolution 2.6.1 or, bafflingly, even older editions.) In Revolution 2.9 you will find: - Top-notch support for modern Linux, Vista, Mac Classic(!) and Leopard - New features, language commands and functions - Totally revamped printing, clipboard, and drag-drop support - Vastly improved user guide and documentation - Hundreds and hundreds of bug fixes - And much, much more In short, Revolution 2.9 is intended to give you and users of your solutions the absolute best experience. The current prerelease version is Beta 12 (RC5) and I suspect this will be one of the last if not THE last beta version before we go to release candidate status. Once we go to "RC" the scope of problems we can fix will be quite narrow. Therefore, I urge *everyone* to aggressively test this version against current and past projects. I've just sent out notices to our nearly 800 beta testers with download links and activation codes for this beta. - If you are a registered tester have NOT received the notice, check your junk mail folders and if it's still not there, please send an email to bill.marriott AT runrev DOT com .. I will resend you the letter. - If you are NOT registered for the beta, please do so now. Visit http://support.runrev.com/beta_test.php You will get an auto-response that your registration was received and I will send out another batch of instructions in the next 24 hours. - Current Enterprise license holders may obtain the prerelease version by using the "Check for Updates..." command in the Help menu. Please review the release notes and "changelog" files in the application directory for the detailed list of changes to this version and focus your testing in those areas, as those are the most likely to have introduced errors. Please open a variety of stacks and check that they work the way you expect. If you have the ability to do so, run it on a variety of operating systems. (You can run Linux or Windows XP in a Virtual Machine). And of course, report your findings, if any, in the Revolution Quality Control Center: http://quality.runrev.com Let me empahize again this may be your last chance to impact the quality of our final release in a positive way, so please take a few moments now to register (if you haven't), download, and test! Thanks and good luck...
