This free update includes a collection of bug fixes as detailed in: http://www.whollygenes.com/files/upgrades/tmgchanges.rtf plus the following new/improved features: - A new "Message Manager" on the Help menu is designed to improve communication to/from Wholly Genes. An "Incoming" message tab will keep you informed by Wholly Genes Software about important news, developments, critical updates, store specials, and other announcements. An "Outgoing" tab offers an easy way to upload a file (screen shot, project, etc.) to Wholly Genes. It also includes easy links to access the Wholly Genes web site or send an email to technical support. - The Message Manager automatically checks for new messages from Wholly Genes according to a schedule as specified in File > Preferences > Program Options > Startup and Exit > Check for Messages. The default is 7 days. You can use that option to change the interval or turn off automatic checking for messages by setting the interval to zero. - Adding Multiple Witnesses - When you select multiple witnesses using the Expanded Picklist, an optional screen has been added to confirm your selections. The new option can be turned off from File > Preferences > Program Options > Lists. - Validate File Integrity - If 'Search for missing external exhibits' is selected... 1) Additional lines are added to the closing VFI messagebox to report the results of the search. 2) The same information is added to the top of the Last VFI. log (located in the project folder). 3) Any exhibit files not found are listed in Last VFI.log. - Help files have been updated. This free v6.09.000 update requires a previous installation of v6.00.000 or later. (Users with a prior version must first apply the update to v6.00.000). To download and apply the update, run TMG, access the Help menu and choose "Check for an update." Alternatively, you can choose "Check for a Program Update" from the Windows Start menu > The Master Genealogist group. The update will be applied automatically. Upon restarting, the startup screen will reflect a version number of "v6.09.000." ==== Internet access by TMG during startup ============ If you are using a personal firewall, don't be startled when TMG v6.09.000 attempts to briefly access the Internet when it is run. There is no cause for concern. The new Message Manager is merely checking for new messages as described above. ==== 20% off your next purchase of data CDs =========== TMG v6.09 Gold Edition users will discover that the new Message Manager delivers a special 20% off coupon for the purchase of data CDs if purchased through the Wholly Genes web store before 30 June 2006.
