Plum Private Beta 5 available for download CHANGES
Well it's been four and a half months since Private Beta 4 dropped, but we've been busy little beavers. This new Private Beta 5 release has completely new internals and we've answered a ton of feature enhancement requests, bug fixes, etc. We've also completely redesigned the help system, so now it's a consolidated compiled help file, just like the big boys. Because so much has changed in Plum's internals, you'll probably find a whole new set of bugs for us to fix. Don't be alarmed; in many ways this is like a brand new product, but the changes we've made make solving problems faster and easier without affecting other parts of the application, which had always been our big problem in the past. Make sure to delete all of your previous Plum installers, applications built with Plum, project files, framework code, Plum custom tag editors and help files (in your HomeSite directory), and help files before installing Private Beta 5. You can't use any of them with this new release. CONTACTING US Please put your Build Number in any correspondence to the Plum Discussion List. This is so we can make sure you are not reporting a bug from an earlier release. You can find your Build Number by choosing About Plum IDE from the Help menu and taking the number after the last dot in the release version. For example, the release you are about to download is Plum IDE v1.0.752, so the Build Number is 752. Please don't email us directly regarding issues you have with Plum. Please direct *all* discussion regarding Plum to the Plum Discussion List ([email protected]) so others can participate. We'll contact you back via phone if we need to.

To get your License Key for this Beta cycle, go to http://www.productivityenhancement.com/ExtendTrial.cfm and fill out the form. We'll issue you your License Key as soon as possible. We're checking regularly over the weekend, but it might be an hour or two during waking hours before we can fulfil your request. ADDITIONAL RELEASES DURING THIS BETA CYCLE If we need to release a new build during this Beta cycle then all you will need to do is download the new installer and install it over your current version. You can continue to use the Private Beta 5 License Key you receive for Build 752, and your .plum project files from Build 752 will continue to work. You may need to choose a command from the Utilities menu after installation, but we'll include any instructions in the release notes. KNOWN ISSUES TO BE FIXED IN THE NEXT RELEASE: * Private Beta 5 does not work with Oracle 9.2 or later. * Only some of the tutorials are finished (they're in the Help). * The help file is incomplete in some places. * Some of the custom tag documentation doesn't detail the new attributes that have been added. * Custom tag editors do not yet accommodate new attributes that have been added to the custom tags. Thanks for all your help in testing Plum! :) Respectfully, Adam Phillip Churvis Member of Team Macromedia Advanced Intensive Training: * C# & ASP.NET for ColdFusion Developers * ColdFusion MX Master Class * Advanced Development with CFMX and SQL Server 2000 http://www.ColdFusionTraining.com Download CommerceBlocks V2.1 and LoRCAT from http://www.ProductivityEnhancement.com The ColdFusion MX Bible is in bookstores now!
