Dear List

Today we have released a new exprimental test-version of EpiData Manager (v 1.3.0.4).

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

Please challenge this test version. The following description is rather short, test and see whether you find interface and function intuitive, and specific aspects with correct function. .

The main new design feature is:

* Completely rewritten dataform designer * Moving, selecting and replacing fields on the dataform is easier. * Select multiple fields, texts and sections. * Changes to Copy, cut & paste. - Paste will happen at current position of mouse pointer. * Preliminary Undo/Redo support. This is so far limited to dragging and sizing of controls.

* Importing data and structures is combined into the same funtionality. New export formats (CSV, SPSS, SAS)

* Export (printing) to SVG file format, (click on tool in tool bar) which can be read by e.g. Inkscape (see inkscape.org) of dataforms

* View data * Encryption of project data (headers are still human readable) * Key unique including testing of status * Prepare Double Entry and Validate Double Entry functionality * Reports may now also be output as Text rather than HTML.

Kind regards
