[odb-help] New Release Now Available (0.9.3a)

[Rich Cowan]

Good morning everyone!!!

I have some good news...  A new release of the Organizers'
Database software is now available -- version 0.9.3a. See:
http://organizenow.net/relnotes.html

This release contains an important fix to the online "lookup zip
code" function; the online zip code lookup (for 9-digit zip codes)
will not work unless you upgrade.

The release also contains upgrades to the import routines:
more robust duplicate checking, intelligent features to avoid a situation
where you might be caught in a loop clicking the OK button hundreds
of times (very important!), and the ability to save and load import
specifications.  So once you get the field order right, or almost right,
you don't have to go back and set up the field order from scratch.

If you are using 0.9.3 or earlier, the upgrade is free.

IF YOU ARE UPGRADED FROM 0.8 AND YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF
MESSAGES ABOUT "NEEDING TO RUN THE CONVERSION
PROGRAM TO UPDATE THE DATABASE FORMAT", PLEASE
DO THAT.  IF YOU ARE SCARED TO DO IT ON YOUR OWN, PLEASE
CONSIDER PURCHASING SUPPORT FOR 1 YEAR.  THIS WILL
ENABLE YOU TO CALL US AND WALK YOU THROUGH THE
CONVERSION PROCESS.  The conversion is actually not a very
scary thing and you end up with a much more capable piece of
software when you are done.
