Dear Xbase++ community,

Since the first release of Xbase++ 1.90 RC-2 (release candidate #2) in
December/January, Alaska Software has released several refreshes of
RC-2 to dedicated beta testers. These intermediate revisions addressed
issues found in the initial RC-2 build. Currently, the development team
at Alaska Software is working on the Xbase++ 1.9 final build, which
should be available in the next 30 days.

Alaska Software also wants to draw your attention to the fact that by
the end of this month, Xbase++ 1.90.322 (release candidate #1) will
stop working due to an internal timebomb mechanism. In the event that
you already have distributed RC-1 to your customers, it is therefore
important to update these RC-1 installation as soon as possible.
Registered customers can request a timebomb-free version of RC-1
from Alaska Software by simply sending an email to
beta@alaska-software.com. Please be sure to include your customer
number.

Finally, we would like to point out to you, again, the Xbase++
Developers Conference being held in May. If you are interested in the
new features of Xbase++ 1.9, or just need a jump-start into the new
worlds of ActiveX, backoffice integration and .NET component usage,
then this DevCon is a must to attend! Even if you are planning a new
application or an upgrade of an existing one, the DevCon will be
especially worthwhile for you to attend. Because a special focus is
put on forthcoming technologies such as Windows Vista and .NET,
attending the DevCon will provide you with valuable hands-on and
background knowledge for competing in the IT market.

With kind regards
