February 03, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. The Patch for Serials 2000 v7.0 is now available for download. Also there is a NEW Serials 2000 v7.0b version to replace the old Serials 2000 v7.0 ----------------------------------------------------- February 02, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Update: There is a small bug in Serials 2000 v7.0 that doesn't save the updated serials. We are currently working on a patch and should hopefully be out tomorrow. We will also patch a few other small bugs in the program. Stay tuned for more. ----------------------------------------------------- January 18, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Well folks, here is it. Serials 2000 v7.0 will be released Friday, January 19, 2001. We are about 2 weeks late from the original release date, but hey, it will be worth the wait. A lot of hard work and time has been put in by Portal in making this awesome new version. Thanks Portal! Critter and I have also spent a lot of time on the new database. It is update all the way through 011501 and even includes fixes not in ANY of the updates. So this is a must. You will be able to get the new version from various mirror sites on the 19th, as well as many other mirrors we are getting ready. You will also be able to get a list of mirrors from our IRC bot. So everyone, get your shoes and hats on. The time has come 1 day and counting. ----------------------------------------------------- January 13, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Can you believe it!! One year ago today we released Serials 2000 (v6.0)!!! FYI: S2k v7.0 has not yet been released, there are still a couple small issues that we wish to sort out before final release, and unfortunately we have all been swamped in RL. So just stay tuned. ----------------------------------------------------- January 8, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Here is a short list of new things in Serials 2000 v7.0. This is a *short* list, in all there are a lot more features added. This is just a little teaser (still no release date). 1. Search History has been added. 2. Serials 2000 now remembers the last window size. 3. Toolbar has now been made flat. 4. Button to Update Database is new on toolbar. 5. While in the tree frame, pressing a letter will automatically jump to that letter. 6. There is now a keyboard shortcut to Search (F3). 7. Options now available. 8. Options - Option to minimize to tray, or minimize to the taskbar, instead of always going to tray. 9. Options - Ability to change the background (bitmap) on the listing screen. 10. Options - Have Search box pop up on start up. 11. Now saves the frame dimensions. 12. New serials are listed in Red. 13. Updated serials are listed in Blue. 14. When clicking on a heading (Program, version, company, etc) the list will sort accordingly. 15. "Find new serials" menu option will find all new serials since last reset. 16. "Find updated serials" menu option will find all update serials since last reset. 17. "Re-Index Database" menu option added. This will re-alphabetize the entire database (Should be run after updating). 18. Password protection is now available when program is started. 19. Ability to change font colors. 20. Export User database quickly to a SEU file. A little something for you folks to "nibble" on, eh? ----------------------------------------------------- January 6, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. There is a new release date for 7.0, but no one knows it yet. We won't be announcing a release date till about 2 days before it comes out. I sort of goofed on the last projected date, and I don't want to make the same mistake. So once we fix the few bugs, and finish up the last minute testing, then I will announce a date. But as I said before, it shouldn't be much longer. ----------------------------------------------------- January 2, 2001 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Looks like Serials 2000 v7.0 will NOT be out tomorrow. I'm sure most of you figured that out by now, just wanted to let you all know anyway. Hopefully we can get it out by the weekend. I gotta finish up a couple little things, and same with Portal. Then we should be ready to go. Stay tuned for more info. ----------------------------------------------------- 30th December 2000 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Well folks, just a few more hours of the millenium. Then we are onto new worlds! Well, maybe not... Anyway, hope everyone is partying like it's 1999, except it's 2000 :) Anyway, I may have a bit of bad news. There is a *slight* chance that Serials 2000 v7.0 will miss the January 3 release date. If it does it will just be a few days. With the holidays and all, it is hard to get stuff done, especially with family, children, etc. So sorry folks :) We will try very, very, very hard to get it out on the 3rd, but if we miss it, just wait a couple more days :) When we get closer to the 3rd I should have a better idea of what the situation is. Anyway, I thought I'd fill you guys in. ----------------------------------------------------- 4th December 2000 Message from the Serials 2000 crew. Serials 2000 v7.0 has begun beta testing. Our selected beta testers have all been notified and will start beta testing. As of right now, it looks like Serials 2000 v7.0 will be released January 3, 2001. This will give us plenty of time to detect the bugs and then get rid of them. We will not accept any more testers, so please don't email us asking for the new version. January 3rd is when you will all get it.
