168: Build 21.2.8 has been released
Dave Nichols, 29/04/2005
Build 21.2.8 has now been released (29/04/05).
The major change in this release is the introduction of the new Lua scripting language. This is more powerful and much easier to learn than the old proprietary langauge. Visit www.lua.org for details.
Another significant ease of use change is to integrate the Match-IT help system into the List & Label document designer. This means you can access Match-IT help from within the designer.
This build has been tested in-house, however we cannot guarantee it to be problem free.
Please trial the new system before committing to it.
If you would like this latest version then please send an e-mail to elaine@match-it.com requesting a new CD.
