Newsletter No. 13
Version 5 is a major upgrade; therefore we highly recommend making a fresh installation.
The new software will search for previous version and will prompt you to convert the diary and settings.
The data transfer is fully compatible with previous versions.
However, because Version 5 introduces new types of bookings, the previous version 4.2 will not recognise them.
This will not influence the integrity of your diary.
Once you have installed and transferred your current diary to the new version, you can safely uninstall previous version.
Please note:
To avoid confusion, we have temporally removed automatic upgrades from help menu.
This feature will be restored at a later time once majority of users have upgraded to version 5.
If you are running server/client system then please contact our technical support for assistance.
