We need your help to purchase the test environments, library licenses, and signing certificates required so that we can distribute it. We're working hard to release the first public beta for ThumbsPlus 11, which we're already testing heavily in-house. We thank all of you for your continued support in the many suggestions and encouraging e-mail messages! But, as with all previous major releases of ThumbsPlus, the list of fixes, updated features, and new options in version 11 is a huge one.Īs it has actually been over 8 years since we have had a paid upgrade, we are as anxious to get ThumbsPlus v11 released as you all are to take a look at it. The required workarounds are more complex and difficult than we expected. Not only did we not anticipate the difficulty of this job, we weren't aware that some of the 32-bit libraries we use are not available as 64-bit libraries, or are explensive. With a single developer, the process of upgrading ThumbsPlus to a true 64-bit program (while still offering support for 32 bit operating systems) has been a huge undertaking. However, it is taking far longer than we hoped to get to a point where we are comfortable releasing a public beta. We are still hard at work with and continue to update and test ThumbsPlus v11 in-house. Since the final build (4015) of ThumbsPlus v10 SP2 was released, all bug fixes, enhancements, updated options, and new features have gone directly into the ThumbsPlus v11 code. If you have suggestions for a mailing host or service that will support around 100,000 recipients, or know of problems with specific ones, please email to let us know.
Our homegrown mailing list software isn't compatible with our new remote host, so we'll be moving to a hosted application.
We'll soon have a new newsletter signup available for information on releases and beta availability. Development continues and I estimate beta availability in a few weeks. Because of COVID and our landlord's retirement and sale of our office, we've had to move our servers offsite and now work from home. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us greatly for the last year. I'm sorry it's been so long since I discussed version 11.
