There have not been a great number of problem reports with the beta of Behold so far, but it's amazing how diverse these problems are. They cover all ends of the spectrum. Some are easy to find and others I don't know what's going on yet and require more debugging. Some are easy to fix, and others are very ...

Fieke who has been testing the Behold beta was startled yesterday. In the background was running the antivirus program Avast. Avast Antivirus seemed to think there's a virus in Behold. Avast kept warnings coming and then shut down Behold. Not only that, but the Behold install program was also being reported as ...

Thank you to those who've submitted bug reports. There are six completely different bugs that have been reported so far. I'm working on them and will hopefully have fixes for them all in the next few releases. The beta releases will come out more often than the alpha's did. I hope to get an update every 1 ...

Not even out of the starting gates, and the Behold Beta already has a comprehensive review done by Tamura Jones. You can find the review at: http://www.tamurajones.net/Behold0.99.2BetaGEDCOM.xhtml but note that Internet Explorer will not open .xhtml files, so you'll need to view it with Firefox or another ...

The first 9 people to download trial keys all found that their Trial Key was already expired. Here I sit redfaced wondering how I let that happen. Well, I had changed the expiry from 90 days after the program was built to the new trial rule of 45 days after the key is sent for. I changed that number ...

Version 0.99.1 beta was released this morning, and version 0.99.2 beta came out this evening, after I fixed two minor issues with the "New Update Available" display and with text on the info box that still referred to the alpha. If ...

I almost got the beta out today. But it was my change to a new computer six months ago that did me in. I finished up and compiled the package. Then I had to make the install script. Whoops. I didn't have it. Had to download InnoSetup and install it. Then I had to set up all my links again because everything ...

For the beta, I want to fix all outstanding errors in Behold. There are certain types of errors that are of the type that can make a program crash. It will be stuck there and not continue or even allow you to close the program. Often the only way out is to use Ctrl-Alt-Delete and start the Task Manager and use ...

We’ve been having beautiful fall weather here in Winnipeg for the last few weeks. Temperatures about 10 deg C (50 deg F). I was out yesterday at lunch for a walk and I passed by the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, a $260 million world-class museum that is currently in its initial stages of construction in ...

The export to HTML and RTF now works producing at least as good output as it did in the last release. So those were the 6 major things I needed to implement for the beta. All done. I started them on October 14th, so they took just over a month. Now there's just 6 small things left: Change the expiry ...
