New test versions and a warning on time and memo variables

by EpiData development and support

Dear all users of EpiData As quite many of you have already experienced, we have placed new test versions of EpiData EntryClient, Manager and Analysis on the http://epidata.dk/testing.php page on December 18th. The changes implemented in the test versions are documented in detail in the "change lists" found under each software on the "public release page, http://epidata.dk/download.php. Current public release versions are 4.6.0 for EntryClient and Manager and 1.4.0 for Analysis. As the the updated test versions are numbered: 4.6.0.2 for EntryClient and Manager and 1.6.0 for Analysis the major changes are in Analysis, where we are preparing for introduction of graphs and other lacking functionality. 1.6.0.0 of analysis * new command: Recode - very strong including formation of labels and other documentation * See Commands.html for details (press F1) of changes to options and the other new commands: keep and version * Variable list, History, Project overview and Command tree have been moved to seperate windows * Revised shortcuts and option names, e.g. unification of label as !l * !h option works for all commands and prints a simple list of supported options for a given command. * Table may be used for only one variable (with options for frequencies) And many Many minor bugfixes, mostly involving statistic calculation and special cases (eg. 0 data) If no major problems are identified the current "test versions" on the testing page will be "public release versions" in early January. Warning: As a side-effect of the new variable types (memo and time) variable, you should notice that if you want to read epx datafiles into classic analysis, then in the new analysis change those variables to another form, e.g. one or more string variables. At this end of our year I wish to express my thanks to all who supported EpiData Software over the years, including anonymous donors in the recent year, but also in particular the core group of Torsten Christiansen, Jamie Hockin and Hans L. Rieder. I wish all a happy new year and do hope that You will welcome the new and coming further structured development. Without all of your support and ideas the project could not continue. Best wishes Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association

News on software upgrades and EpiData software on Mac Catalina ?

by EpiData development and support

Dear all Within short time new "pre-public" versions of EpiData Software (Manager, EntryClient and Analysis) will appear on the testing.php page of EpiData. Apart from bug fixes the main upgrading is in Analysis. A dedicated mail will be posted once the updates are placed there. Another issue is that a few users have asked when EpiData software will be available for the MacOS Catalina. This is not to easy to answer since it seems that Apple has applied further special restrictions. In short we can guide you with this (unfortunated) message: Mac users of Epidata software should not upgrade their operating system to MacOS Catalina. Current Mac versions of Epidata will not run under this most recent version of MacOS because of restrictions Apple has put into the operating system. We are working on 64-bit Mac versions of the software that can be installed on MacOS Catalina and will advise users when these are ready. More news on this later when the tests are more extensive and time has permitted the development. Best wishes to all Jens Lauritsen EpiData Association Denmark
