The only thing constant is change.


Sorry I haven't posted much in the last couple of weeks. I was a little swamped with DW4.0.1 fixing and debugging.

DW4.02 is here and it is packed with new stuff. I consider it more of a mini release instead of a patch because it's got a lot of cool new things. I'm having minor issues with the installation package right now but I will give a full report soon which will include time line and adoption considerations.

For standalone users: The BRIDGE has changed once again. (I think twice in just this release of DW4) RAD-DEGREE-DTL and RAD-SCHOOL-DTL has been phased out (although it is backwards compatible). The replacement is RAD-GOAL-DTL and RAD-GOALDATA-DTL. It allows for unlimited calling of major/minor/program blocks.

I've only glanced at it and it a little confusing. I'll have to experiment.

Stay tuned. I'll give my review soon.
