5/20/2005Posted inGeneral3 Comments

For the brave amongst you, we have released the latest Express 2.5 Sneak Peek build. There are no release notes, but lots of bugs are squashed in this version.

You will need Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) at least to use this build.

As per normal, we do not offer support on these builds, so please do not ask. Send your feedback to sneakpeek@nisus.com or use the feedback function built into Express.

Happy Hunting!

A 2.5 trick

5/20/2005Posted inGeneral1 Comment

Nisus Writer Express 2.5 is getting close. We have a few touch-ups to add, but we have mostly been fixing bugs. We have fixed about 90% of the bugs in our bug tracker now. Once we get our known issues squashed, we will go to beta before our final release.

Also, here’s something fun to do if you are using the 2.5alpha sneakpeek: Open a new document and type the word “POOF”. Now highlight the word and choose Table->Convert To Table.

Express 2.1.3 is out

5/6/2005Posted inGeneral1 Comment

The final version of Nisus Writer Express 2.1.3 is now available at the usual place. Or, you can open Express and choose the “Check for Updates” feature in Nisus Writer Express, located under the “Nisus Writer Express” menu.

No new features have been added, as this version fixes a few issues that were disconvered after Tiger was released.

Enjoy!

What’s with all the versions?

So lately we have released both 2.1.2 and 2.5alpha and soon we will release 2.1.3. What’s up with all these versions? Well, here’s what’s happening:

Nisus Writer Express 2.5 is the brand spanking new version of Express that we have been working on for some time. It has some cool new features like a really slick system for bullets and numbering, a better style sheet, and right to left support. Perhaps most importantly, version 2.5 will be our “bug smasher” release. We are taking the time to really clean out our bug database. We are also going to release frequent alphas and betas so that you can try out the new features if you want and report bugs to us early on while we can fix them.

In the mean time, we have made some very minor changes to our current “stable” release 2.1.1 to support the new version of Mac OS X, Tiger. This version is called 2.1.2. Several users have experienced some additional issues that we did not find in our own testing on Tiger, so we have now fixed those issues as well and we will soon release 2.1.3.

So there you have it: if you are on Tiger, please upgrade to 2.1.2 (and 2.1.3 when it is released. If you want to try out the newest features and you aren’t afraid of bugs, try the sneak peek of our new version 2.5.
