Ideal BB.NET 3.1.7 is out!
First, I released Ideal BB.NET 3.1.7 today. This new version fixes a lot of bugs, optimizes a lot of the code for better performance, and adds a few minor features. Mainly, this release will provide us with a better platform to add some major new features which we plan for the 3.1.8 release.
We also released a new version of the Ideal Science web site. The updated web site will help us distribute serial numbers which are now required for all Ideal BB.NET products. Rather than using the license files to unlock features, we are going to give you a serial number which you add to the web.config file.
We’ve also added a new Wiki for product documentation. (http://wiki.idealscience.com.) Going forward we will be placing all documentation there. This will help us keep our docs more up to date and allow the community at large to edit them.
We sent out a poll recently and based on some of the early results, it looks like the next big feature is going to be a buddy list. If you haven’t sent in your results yet, now is the time to do it as we are going to close the polls soon and issue a winner for the iPod. With the popularity of Facebook and Myspace I can see why folks would want a buddy list.
We will be upgrading our forums tomorrow to run the latest version of Ideal BB.NET so that you can try it out before you download and install it.
