Dear List

Today we have released a new exprimental test-version of EpiData Manager (v 1.3.0.6) andEpiData EntryClient (v 1.3.0.2)

The new version is available for download on our testing website: http://epidata.dk/testing.php#alpha

In this test version we have added printing to the EntryClient with support for printing the data of the current record.

In EpiData Manager changes the Study Information forms are revised to give more distinct view of the different information available.

In addition a number of minor bugs have also been fixed for both Manager and EntryClient. Most notably a bug where using a non-ascii username on Windows could cause a crash.

NOTE: Due to a change in the encryption of .epx files, datafiles protected by passwords created with EpiData Manager v1.3.0.0 -> v1.3.0.5 cannot be read with this release.

If you have used encryption for a project then: a) Load the project with your previous version of Mangear b) Remove the password encryption and save the project again under a new file name. c) Load the saved un-encrypted file in Manager v1.3.0.6, add encryption and save the file again d) Delete the un-encrypted file

This change does NOT affect loading old .rec files with password protection.

The full list of changes can be found at: http://epidata.dk/epidatamanager.changelog.txt http://epidata.dk/epidataentryclient.changelog.txt

This will be the last experimental release and if no major issues are raised within a short period of time we will release the current experimental version as a "pre-public" release test version.

Kind regards
