We removed it temporarily - there's an installation annoyance we want to address. Stay tuned.

Ah, that explains it.

As a vaguely related issue, it would be nice if the email notification gave some information about what changes are in the product update.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

The README file and the release notes are available for separate download. Our space for text in the download announcement itself is limited. But we know we need to do a better job here and work is in progress to address it.

I wouldn't expect (nor would I particularly want) the entire "READ.ME" file; just an executive summary. ;-)

Wow, the installation programworked fine through de-install and new install, but must it be, that all my menu adaptations get lost? It's terribly fiddly!

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Which "menu adaptations"? Is this in VS.NET?

[ipattielgc]

The update went smoothly for me as well, though the message (sounds like)"IDE depends on C++ compiler, Ok to remove it?" was a bit confusing, since I had not installed C++, butI said yes and my MS VSC++ is still there.

Seems like the string libraries are working very well in 9.0, I seem to recall that with 8.1 my apps that did a lot of character manipulation were about the same speed as with CVF 6.6, but with IVF I see about a 30 percent improvment. Very nice! 'course, IVF was always the best number cruncher.

Looks like it fixed the DLLEXPORT problem I was having when using iface:cvf in release mode.

Very good work, thanks! Ian.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Yes, that "C" in the warning message was bogus. It has since been fixed. Thanks for the kind words.

[hansr]

Yes, in vs.net.

The buttons find next, find last, run to cursor, define next statement, and so on.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Ok. Unfortunately, the way MS has "partners" load integrations into VS.NET causes all your menu customizations to be lost. I think I heard that that will change in VS2005.
