This is primarily a bug fix update and includes a couple which required some major internal code changes.\u00a0\u00a0If you have reported a bug that isn’t addressed by this update, don’t worry… all reported bugs have been logged and are being worked on.<\/p>\n

On a\u00a0somewhat unrelated\u00a0note… we have had a lot of questions about if and when the RM4 book will be available.\u00a0 The “if” is yes, and the “when” is I’m not sure.\u00a0 Because of the large number of changes \/ additions in version 4, the book is taking me\u00a0longer to\u00a0put together\u00a0than with past versions (especially with the amount of time I’m spending programming at the moment).\u00a0\u00a0 I just wanted to assure you I am working on it with all that spare time I have laying around<g>.\u00a0 But\u00a0the plan is to get it\u00a0out in the next\u00a0couple of months.\u00a0 We are also working on some free video tutorials which you will be able to watch online from our website or download to your computer.\u00a0 Keep an eye on the blog and our RootsMagic Newsletter for more information about those in the coming months.<\/p>\n
