Version 3.4.12 now available


Recommended Posts

The latest version of the BBO is now available.

You can install this version by going to:

 

www.bridgebase.com/3.4.12/bbo_setup.exe

 

Please make sure that you have exited BBO

COMPLETELY before you try to install the

new version.

 

For those of you who have already installed

3.4.11 you will not see very much that is new

in 3.4.12 (although the way the Bridge Library

on Online Store work have been much improved).

 

Still, it is a good idea for 3.4.11 users to upgrade

to the new version. The reason is that we never

intended 3.4.11 to be made available to the general

public. Unfortunately word about 3.4.11 spread

very quickly and it soon became too late for us to

try to stop it. 3.4.11 was meant for testing by

our staff and a handful of others (such as the

yellows) and it contains several bugs that were

fixed in 3.4.12.

 

We are hoping that a lot of people will read this

post and download 3.4.12. Our plan will be to fix

any problems that these people report, create a

3.4.13 if necessary within a week, and distribute

that version to all BBO members through our

automatic upgrade facility.

 

Please report any problems that you find in the

new version (or old versions for that matter) to:

 

fred@bridgebase.com

 

For those of you who have 3.4.8 (the latest official

version of the software), you will see the following

new features when you install 3.4.12. Those of you

who have 3.4.11 already have access to these features:

 

- Support for individual tournaments

 

- A "tourneys" button when you are at a bridge table.

Clicking this button will display a list of tournaments

(similar to how the "Lobby" and "Tables" buttons

currently work).

 

- Tournament hosts have some new options available

for restricting access in their tournament in various ways.

 

Besides the rewrite of the Bridge Library and Online

Store areas (and several bug fixes), version 3.4.12

also contains these new features:

 

- The software now remembers your setting of

Hide/Show Lobby News, but when we change the

Lobby News this setting is ignored (everyone will

see the new news when they log in).

 

- We believe we have significantly improved the

speed at which BBO is able to send and receive

data over the Internet. People with slow connections

should notice big improvements in this area.

 

- Private club owners now have the ability to send

mail messages to all members of their clubs with

a single command.

 

- Lobby chat is not displayed when you are in a

chat room regardless of your setting of "Ignore

Lobby Chat".

 

- Some new flags have been added (Bangladesh,

Ukraine, and a nicer flag for Saint Lucia). Let us know

if your flag is missing!

 

We hope you like the new version. Please let us know

if you find any problems!
