[Scid-users] Scid 3.0.beta1 released

[Shane H. <sh...@co...>]

Hi all,

Scid 3.0.beta1 is now available at the usual site:
    http://scid.sourceforge.net/betas.html

The index file format has changed, so each old Scid
database will be converted the first time you open it.
This process will create new files and not edit or
delete the old format files.

Since I'm not yet 100% sure that all the file format
changes I want to make for 3.0 are in this beta, you
should keep all your important data in the old 2.x
format until the final 3.0 release.

Other planned improvements for 3.0 not yet in beta1
include a bookmarks scheme (for easy access to important
positions or games) and extending the email capability
to Windows systems with SMTP (I've been sent the code
for this but not had time to include it yet).

Cheers,
Shane
