Version 3.6.9 Available for Testing

[fred]

You can update your BBO to the latest version at:

 

www.bridgebase.com/beta369/bbo_update.exe

 

or download everything (including the latest) from scratch at:

 

www.bridgebase.com/beta369/bbo_setup.exe

 

 

I suggest you use the first method, but whatever method you

use, please make sure you have exited the BBO program

COMPLETELY before you start!

 

Version 3.6.9 is mostly about bug fixes. Several problems

have been fixed, including some serious ones.

 

The bug in which some users crash or froze when clicking

the lobby/tables/tourneys/chat buttons at a table is hopefully

fixed. I was never able to replicate it, but my testers who

could report that 3.6.9 appears to be stable in this regard.

 

Please let me know if you see this happen with 3.6.9 by

posting here or sending e-mail to fred@bridgebase.com.

 

There are a few new features:

 

- When "show full tables" filter is off and "show empty

seats" filter is on, list is sorted by number of empty seats.

I am not sure that this is best, but I got a lot of requests

to make this change...

 

- When you are typing a chat message to a person who

logs out, you are now asked if you want to leave a mail

message for that person (as opposed to the chat dialog

automatically vanishing).

 

- Vugraph operators can now enter information about

the players directly through the BBO client. Right click

is still used to set player names, but after you do that

you can left click to edit profile information. Player

profiles are automatically saved in files on your hard disk.

 

- Control-T for chat to tournament (it is used for TABLE

in other contexts)

 

- Host of a partnership bidding table can see all 4 hands

if he is not sitting and if he has set defenders' bidding

to "controlled by host"

 

Please let me know if you find any problems with 3.6.9,

but I am going to a tournament on Monday and I may not

be able to respond to e-mail (or forums post) between

April 12 and 19.

 

Thanks in advance for your help with testing!

Oops :)

 

Sorry about that. The problem is now fixed, but you will have

to download and install again from one of the links in the post

that started this thread (version number will remain 3.6.9).

 

Thanks for noticing and reporting this, Beky.

I don't know if this is a bug or some problem with my computer.

 

I upgraded last night to version 3.6.9. Today I played in a tourney. On moving for board 5 I could only see the back of the cards. I had to leave and upon my return had no further problem.

 

I have my profile set up to kibitz south and this was the first time in the tourney that I was seated south. I changed my profile to view all hands but it didn't help. This might have no bearing on the problem but I include it in case it does.

 

Just to add that I think the software is great.

Thanks for reporting this Chris.

 

This bug (along with another one that Gerardo reported - thanks)

is now fixed and 3.7.0 will be released soon.
