We are starting the beta testing for the Mac in early October.

If you would like to be a beta tester and you have not yet signed up, please contact Pete@thayerbirding.com

There was a delay in getting the Mac beta released because we had to stop and update the v3.9 Windows version. We will be releasing Windows v3.9.1 next week. This will be a free download. Actually, there are free updates out there now. To get the update, open your v3.9 program, click Help and then click Check for Updates.

The v3.9.1 fixes minor issues found in the v3.9 release, including a bug relating to the Screen Saver and another bug relating to the program thinking that the license key was a "duplicate".

If you still have the old v3.5, please call 800-865-2473 to order version 3.9. This is the only version that works on Vista.

Regards,

Pete Thayer

The 2nd Mac beta was mailed on Friday, Nov 2, 2007. I tested it for a day and a half and found only a few minor issues -- the programmers can fix these in a few hours. We have about 25 beta testers and we hope to hear from each of them by the 14th. Then we will release beta #3 on November 19th, as an internet update.

If all goes well, we will be sending the final version of the CD off to get duplicated soon after that. We are expecting that we will start shipping the Mac version on November 30th.

Thank you all for your patience and your help with this project!!

Call 800-865-2473 to pre-order your copy.

The Mac version is now at the duplication plant -- we hope to mail out the Mac copies on Friday, Nov 30th or Monday, December 3rd.

The Mac version will run on 10.3 and 10.4.10

We are working on a free update for folks running Mac 10.4.11 and 10.5 (Leopard) -- they should be ready in a week or two.
