PerfectTablePlan v2.1.4 stability
Any software of non-trivial size and complexity
will contains mistakes (‘bugs’). While we try very hard to make
PerfectTablePlan a high quality application, it is inevitable that some
bugs will not be found and fixed during testing. Some of the worst bugs
are those that cause the software to exit without warning (‘crash’),
possibly losing data.
To help maintain quality, PerfectTablePlan has
built-in crash reporting. If the software crashes it will (with the
user’s permission) attempt to email us a crash log. The crash log can
be a big help in identifying the cause of the bug. Since we released
version 2.1.4 at the end of May we have had the following statistics:
- Downloads (Windows and MacOSX):
several thousand
- Windows crash reports: 0
- MacOSX crash reports: 2
Obviously we would prefer 0 crash reports, but we
feel this a long way ahead of the reliability of much of the software
that we use day-to-day, some of it a lot more expensive than
PerfectTablePlan.
If you do manage to crash PerfectTablePlan, please
send us a crash report.

Comment:
Thanks to Nick for reporting this bug. We hope to
fix it in the next release.
If you know of any other bugs in 2.1.4 please
email support .
We have fixed
a number of bugs since v2.1.0 was release. If you are using
an earlier version we suggest you download
and install v2.1.4. If you have a valid version 2 licence key
you won’t need to purchase a new licence.
Upgrade policy
We are continually improving the software and
making new releases. If you have purchased a version 2 licence key it
is valid for any version 2.x.x release, i.e. the same licence key will
work for v2.0.0 and v2.1.4. We will also send you a free version 3
licence key if we release version 3 within 3 months of you purchasing
version 2. If you purchase version 2 more than 3 months before we
release version 3 you can upgrade to version 3 for a small fee.
