Beta 9.0 Progress

Filed under: General — Marcus Tettmar @ 11:28 am

Wow it’s been a busy few weeks since we announced the beta. But I’m pleased to say that pretty much all of the issues found so far have been minor UI tweaks. There have been no reported backwards compatible problems with running old scripts and the new functions and scripting features are working well. I’ve had some great feedback on the new code builder enhancements too. It seems they are going down well. The new code builder features really do seem to have made writing code easier for experienced users as well as newcomers, which is exactly what we wanted to achieve. It’s also good to see people making the most of the new image recognition functions.

Many thanks for all your feedback and assistance so far. The new manual is now at the printers and a proof should be on its way to us. So we’re now well on track for official release in January.

If you haven’t tried version 9.0 yet you can download the beta in the registered user download area. The current beta build is 033. Please report any issues at the beta forum. Oh, and if you’re holding off purchasing Macro Scheduler because you’re waiting for 9.0, there’s no need, because anyone purchasing now will get a free update to v9 in January.
