Well, that's why so many people hate updates. A new interface always means having to learn something again that you have been doing for the past years. People can't concentrate on what they are writing, because they have to search for how to format things, how to open and save, how to print etc. That's why so many people still use Office 2000 or older or The Bat 1.x Not because of the price of a new program but because of the costs of the working-hours that are lost due to software changes.

would like to know the price to upgrade to 5 and what is the procedure?  

There is a 30% discount for upgrading to v5.xx. The procedure is simple. First you upgrade  your key and receive it via e-mail. After that you download the latest version from our web-site and install it over the existing version. Before doing this create a backup under the "Tools" menu.

Quote
Will this 4.2.36.4 update run on my present key?  

No, the last version to accept your key is v4.0.38.

However, that latest version currently is v4.2.42.

Quote
Would you suggest I update or wait for 5?

You can upgrade your key already now and it will be valid starting with version 4.2.38.

Quote
When will it be released?

In several weeks, we are dong the final preparations.

Thanks for that Marek. That was the message that I saw. However, There appear to be no way from that page to purchase a key for the v5. Clicking on Buy Online simply leads to purchase links for v4.

Excellent list of new features. I hope the speed would be lighting. Would it integrate support for importing Microsoft Outlook data  or any Calendar feature ?


Thats a relief for 4.x users, since I purchased a 4 license.

So when the time comes, how much do you generally charge for an upgrade license ?

Yes. Ritlabs is focusing on v5 and generally they don't issue any updates for previous versions, so I don't expect them to do so now.

I only hope that in version 5 they will fix the "auto refresh" function once and for all, I'm tired of pressing CTRL + R each time I want to refresh the content of a Virtual Folder... (Does anybody has this issue by the way ?)

I think the current interface is functional but looking a little tired and dated.  In terms of functionality I would also like to get a proper drag and drop interface for folder management, rather than the need to use awkward key combinations as at present.

Most of all however I want v5 to fix the "disappearing folders" problem so that I no longer need to regularly invoke the "magic" key combination (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+L) to recover folders that go missing for no apparent reason.

I am not Ritlabs employee, so these are not official informations...
As about release date, we are still in alpha stage, so I personally expect, it will not be released in less than 2 months.
As about new interface, do not expect too much now, this release has major core changes, interface is not current goal for this release.

Can anyone from the Ritlabs team inform us about the main difference in TB v5 vs v4 ?


Is v5 a complete re-write ? Whats the main point kept in mind while programming v5 ? Is performance priority ?
