Visual Objects 2.7 and VO Productivity Pack 3.1

Thu, 18 Dec 2003 12:19:25 +1100

Things have been quiet on the web site for a while as we have been very busy participating in the development of Visual Objects 2.7. You can find out more about the VO 2.7 and its imminent release at GrafX. There will be a new version of the VO Productivity Pack - version 3.1 - that will be compatible with VO 2.7. There have been some significant changes to the VO IDE including the option to run multiple copies of VO simultaneously. Consequently there have been significant changes to ensure that VOPP works in harmony with VO. However we have also found some time to add some new features to VOPP. There will be a small upgrade fee (US$40) for registered users of VOPP 3.0x to obtain a VOPP 3.1 registration. From 1 November 2003 any new registrations of VOPP 3.0x will be entitled to a free upgrade to VOPP 3.1.
