Readerware 1.52 Release Notes
Readerware 1.52 includes a new international release.
There are now two versions of Readerware, the US version and the international
version. Until this release only a US version was available but this failed
to instal on some systems overseas. I am not sure how many countries are
unable to use the US version, it fails to install in Israel, but works
in Australia for example. It is probably only really necessary to use the
international version if you use cyrillic fonts, or a double byte characters
set. If you have successfully installed Readerware 1.51, there is probably
no need to upgrade.
There is still only a single version of the upgrade
and that can be applied to either The US or international versions.
Readerware 1.51 Release Notes
Readerware 1.51 fixes a build problem, a file was
accidentally excluded from the 1.50 build. This only effects users installing
Readerware for the first time, users upgrading should not be effected.
I apologize for this error.
Readerware 1.50 Release Notes
Readerware 1.50 is the new base release. As the new
base release you must download the full install as it includes both updates
to Readerware and Java. Future releases will be available as a full install
and as upgrades to 1.50.
This new release includes major performance improvements
and a number of fixes. A lot of work has gone into addressing screen painting
problems that effected some Windows 95/98 users. Data extraction has been
improved.
