Released version 2.1.0.3.

We would like to thank several users that helped us a lot:
- Ian Goldsmind and Alex Hsiao for their patience and willingness to help us track some nasty bugs;
- Massimiliano Belletti for translating ConnectedText to Italian;
- Bettina Aring, Manfred Kuehn and Ulrich Florian for translating ConnectedText to German.

Released version 2.1.0.2. It is just a maintenance release. Windows Vista users should download it since it contains an important bug fix. Consult the Change Log for complete information.
03/18/2007
Finally! After a lot of work, a new version is available.
If you read the Change Log you won't see a lot of new features because most of the changes are internal, providing a basis for continuous growth. The main features of version 2.1 are:
- Support for Windows Vista;
- USB version, which enables you to use ConnectedText in any computer running Windows. Just plug your USB drive and start working. No need to install. Check our FAQ to learn more about the USB version;
- A new licensing scheme. No more need to request a new license when reinstalling Windows.
As you can see we heard you. Now that those items are available we are ready to tackle version 3.0. We would like to thank all users who sent reports, screen shots, wrote suggestions and even topics. In special we want to thank Jørgen Brenting for translating ConnectedText to Danish. Well done.
Important notice: users who purchased ConnectedText need a new license for version 2.1. Send an email to us with your full name and we will issue your new license. Those who want to try ConnectedText just download it and start working immediately. If you tried ConnectedText before we invite you for a new trial period so you can see why more and more people are choosing ConnectedText.
We would like to apologize for the problems in our forum. Unfortunately our ISP was unable to solve the problem so we are moving our site to a new provider. You may experience problems while navigating in our site till the move are complete. If you find anything strange, please send a message to us. The forum is a important part of ConnectedText, enabling users with different backgrounds exchanges ideas in how to use it. When the move is complete we plan to add more tools to our site.

2 months without any news... Too much time. We have been buried in work, making ConnectedText more robust, fixing problems and adding some new features. Version 2.1 is almost ready. It supports Windows Vista and there is a new USB version. Those who want to try it can download a beta version. No need for requesting a trial license anymore. Just install and try!
For those who purchased ConnectedText and install the new version, send an email to us asking for you new license. The previous one does not work with version 2.1. As soon as you install, ConnectedText turns to trial mode. So don't worry, you can continue working. Just ask for you license providing your full name.

Happy New Year!
New year new version. We said that version 2.0.0.8 was the last in the 2.0 series but due to a few bugs found and some user suggestions to improve ConnectedText, we decided to made another release. The suggestions improve the usability of ConnectedText. We couldn't make you waiting to take advantage of it. Consult the Change Log for complete information.
There is one suggestion that couldn't make into this version: Topic Merge. It will be available in version 2.0.1.0 (that will be the last before 3.0, I swear). Why one more version? Because with it we will release USB ConnectedText, a common request. It will be installed directly in a USB drive making it possible to use ConnectedText anywhere with any computer running Windows OS. It will be available in a couple of weeks and will be sold as a separate product.
That shows our commitment to deliver to all of you a good product.
