To all ODB users and prospective users:

Today, we are pleased to announce the release of version 0.9.7 of the Organizers Database (ODB) software! This is a small maintenance release to fix a small number issues found since the previous release in October 2005.

Bugs Fixed

a) ODB was automatically doing backups even if you indicated in the setup wizard that you did not want them (11/15/05).

b) In the Select Records area, in Groups mode, you cannot sort a list of results by "Type." (1/4/06)

c) ODB was allowing you to do a context search on SRC code even if the SRC code was "None." (12/2/05)

d) The add payment screen and setup wizard had close boxes on them. (11/16/05)

d) The third donation report choice, "Payments by Name", was not working at all, as it was returning a list of donors instead of a list of payments. (11/7/05)

e) ODB was not warning the user that they needed to upgrade their database format using the 0.9.6 conversion program, in certain instances (1/23/05).

How can I obtain a copy of 0.9.7?

The ODB 0.9.7 software can downloaded by going to www.organizersdb.org/0.9.

What about upgrading?

As always, you can upgrade by simply running the installation program on top of your existing installation. It is much easiest if you do NOT "uninstall" first.

Version 0.9.7 is the first release of ODB in 2006.

Is there a Mac or Linux version?

Not yet, but it is planned by the end of 2006!

Thanks!!
