Dear all
As I already informed on August 17th the next test release for Manager and EntryClient will require ALL current EPX and EPZ files to be recreated. The next test release will be available within the next few days.
Obviously this can be annoying, but as previously announced we do need to have the flexibility of changes all the way to release of version 1.
If you are preparing projects for future use I recommend that you either: a. - Export your data with current test version into stata format - import again with the new test version (when this is ready) - add jumps, calculations etc after the import. (Labels will be imported correctly) or b look at the template principles explained in http://www.epidata.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/documentation:templateformat
and then use the template command tool to create the epx files. A revised template tool will be released at the same time as the next test release.
In other words: Do not spend too much time on fine tuning epx files at this point. Datastructures are fine, but details must be expected to change, e.g. specifications of jumps, range, notes etc.
The XML structure used in v1.0 will be supported for all future releases after that.

Thanks Jens:
I'm thinking that I would test this version along with a translation to Spanish. Do I can work doing these 2 things?
