Dear all

From today you will find on the website at http://www.epidata.dk/download.php

The new public release versions are: EpiData Manager and EntryClient version 4.6.0.6 EpiData Analysis version 3.2.0.0

The main new aspect is that Analysis now has a dialogue as an assisting tool for creating analysis commands with most options for frequencies, tables, describe and ctable. Find this in the menu point "Analysis".

In addition the whole principle of development is in re-design, such that future updates should be easier to manage within the project.

You should notice that the current release versions will be the final ones for 32 bit systems (older computers). The reason is that the maintenance of all possible aspects for as well 32 and 64 bit versions for as well Windows, Linux and Mac OS has become too cumbersome. The 32 bit versions (4.6.0.6 or 3.2.0.0) will remain downloadable from the page: http://www.epidata.dk/download32.php

In short time the main download page will be adapted to contain only 64 bit versions and links to Classic EpiData and the 32 bit versions. The adaptation will also complete updating of other aspects, e.g. content of "latest changes" files.

Thanks to the implementation and development of principles by Torsten Christiansen and Jamie Hockin (struggling with Mac aspects), plus guidance from Hans Rieder and coordination/managing efforts by myself the project continues.

Without the continued comments and downloads that we can see from all users we would not be motivated to continue, so thanks for that.

The current aim is to include all functions available in classic EpiData.(whether to include "before/after blocks" will be decided later).

After our summer period here (july-august) development will continue with graphs in analysis and other aspects.

best wishes

Jens Lauritsen Initiator and Coordinator of EpiData Software Denmark
