AppGini beta releases (Pro users only)
Posted: 2013-04-29 13:11
Hi all,
It's been a long time since I last posted anything here. I've been so busy working on the new release of AppGini, and on another related application that I'll talk about later .. So, I apologize for my long absence. And I'd like to deeply thank all the moderators for doing a great job of maintaining the forum during this time.
Some of you might have already noticed this: I'm now making the beta version of AppGini available through the pro download area at http://bigprof.com/appgini/download-pro ... (you'll need your AppGini order number and the email address you used during ordering to access it) ... The beta is for adventurers only You can view it more as a nightly build than a stable beta, so I won't recommend using its output in a production environment until I release it officially. Your feedback and bug reports are, as usual, always welcome.
I'll continually update this post with the change log as I upload new betas. Consider this change log as what's new since the latest official release. Some points might look vague/uncomprehensible ... forgive me for that, I'm copying them from my repository comments directly without editing. The official change log at http://bigprof.com/appgini/release-log would be refined and edited for clarity.

Official release of AppGini 5.10 became available by: June 10, 2013
Change log since AppGini 5.0
EDIT: I styled new features in the above list to be in bold so you can quickly know what's new without having to read all of the list.
EDIT on June 16, 2013: Update the above list to show all change from 5.0 up to the official 5.10 release that was made 6 days ago.
