We've been working VERY hard on this baby. One of our top programmers has been on the "final coding" for over 2 months now. It is looking good, with lots of new features and flexibilities, but with all the new code it's just taking longer than estimated. In January, we expected to ship June 30!
There are a few grimlins still stalking some critical features, but they are leaving one by one. The Export CDG File command
Renderer code had to be totally rewritten to draw the new variable fonts, colors, point sizes, sweep changes for 3 singers (Duet = #1, #2, Both), etc.
Rest assured, we are advancing it every day. We released Version 5.013 to our Beta Testers last week. Initial reports are positive. I'm now waiting for an update after the weekend on when 5.014 will be ready for the Beta Testers. I'll try to make a post here to let you folks know the status.
We also have totally replaced the security coding in all our new program releases... Microstudio 2.506 was the first to release. KPro 4.008 required a network card, which is not required now. We have engineered a really cool method that is easy for users to install, and yet insures that when the program is posted on crack sites it won't be installable.
We had an "identity theft pro" from Singapore order the beta vesion for $300 (we set it high to discourage everyone, but gave a coupon for $300 to our betas who had to order it). Of course he used someone elses credit card! We were able to disable the code before he could even try to install it.
Man did that feel good! Three days later he emailed that it wouldn't install. Yes!!!!!!! Ah, the sweet smell of success. What a weird world we have to deal with today!
Hey... make my burritos chicken and cheese... please... Better hurry though! I think the show is about to begin!
