Dear All
A "feature complete" version of EpiData Manager has been uploaded today - the expectation (read as "hope") is, that this version with bug removal can be released as version 1.0
* *NEW: *Create reports in HTML format using "Tools" * Default settings for a project * Change font and colour in program settings
The reports on project structure (question lists, value label lists, combined lists) are produced when you click on tools menu. All epx/epz files in that folder are included. (Notice they must be of most recent format).
For Entry Client a similar version will be released within the next days .
The following aspecs will be fixed/clarified before release: a. A Proper About box will be added. b. For reports a grid of included files will be shown to the user - just like "add structure" to allow for in- and exclusion of single files. c. known and reported bugs. d. any bugs reported from now on by users. e. updating of documentation on the wiki.
Another interesting development has taken place in the last week. We have localised an open-source based cross-platform testing system for interactive simulation of user behavior. We will spend some energy and time to develop validation tests to secure that the visual interface behaves properly after each new compilation. More news on this later.
Therefore please: Now is the time to challenge the software and report problems and viewpoints on the products - before releasing as v1. Documentation and instruction files could be more elaborate obviously - this will come later. In practice it has turned out, that unless features work almost without instruction, users will not use it.
