Progress to the v7 client release

Messages recommandés

There has been a lot of work on v7 behind the scenes.  Clearly it's taken longer than we'd like, but I wanted to give an update on where we are.  Our lead developer, Joseph Coffland, has been working to add requested features and squash bugs reported by testers.  There's been numerous examples of this, so too many for me to detail one by one, but I'm attaching the v7 client change log to give some rough idea of the type of code development tasks that have been going on.  

 

Joe and I think we're close and if 7.1.18 looks good in internal testing, it will likely become the basis of the client released for a public release beta client.
