Just a quick development update on our end. We've been busy working away on the next versions of CourseForum and ProjectForum.
One of the main things that we wanted to do with that was upgrade the core engine that drives the software, and that's been pretty much accomplished. That won't provide much of a visible change (other than maybe a performance boost), but does significantly improve our capability to continue moving forward with future changes. As discussed earlier, that will also involve dropping support for some legacy platforms.
The other big part has been updating how the Windows versions work, combining the "GUI" and "service" versions into a single download, and making it easier to switch between the two. We're also giving the user interface a refresh, and incorporating some other changes to make the software an even better citizen with newer versions of Windows. This work is close to complete; the main thing we'll still be working on is making the upgrade from existing versions of CourseForum and ProjectForum as smooth as possible.
Along the way, we've also identified and fixed a few bugs and made some other small changes, which we're making available today as part of a new patch release, version 6.5.3 (so this doesn't include the two things I talked about above). As always, details can be found on our website.
