Yes, the Win64 VSS file daemon is working. We are still in the testing phase. All the changes to the base code are committed, and we will be committing the build scripts shortly. Sometime after my vacation (I'm back the 5th of March), we will be releasing a new beta, which will include the new database format, and the Win64 FD. The Win64 FD will only be released in the one file install format, and it will not include the Windows server (DIr or SD). We are considering whether or not to keep the Win32 release exactly as it is currently packaged or convert it to the new one file install format -- no decision is made yet. Anyone that wants something different will need to do the build from source themselves. > Does the > same limitation apply to the Exchange plugin?

The Win64 bit FD has an Exchange plugin that is compiled in 64 bits, but I am not sure it has been tested yet. There are still a few outstanding bugs (mostly minor as far as I know) on the Exchange plugin. We hope to fix them before release, which should occur at the end of March. > > The documentation does not seem to state either way, unless I am > simply not seeing the portion where it is (I would think it should be > in the New Concepts and Overview Guide in the part about the Exchange > plugin). It is unlikely that all the new documentation in the New Features section will be totally integrated into the manual before release. However, we *do* hope to document all the new features in that chapter. As time permits we are addubg new feature documentation that is not already integrated back into the main manual.
