Correction Releases [top]

Some of you have noticed and commented on the change in frequency of KB_SQL Software releases.  We remain committed to a more frequent release schedule of corrections and minor enhancements.  Together with selected solutions providers we have worked to accomplish this change in behavior with the resulting correction releases for the next version.

Our goal going forward is to continue to work and find the right frequency and volume.  This is a tricky balance.  We constantly look at the issues that have been reported and try to assess the impact of making the correction.  We also look at suggestions that have been received from the client base.  These are reviewed and evaluated against the release timeframe.

In each case, we have had to leave some issues behind for the next release.  On the flip side, each of the Connection releases has had some valuable additions as well.  It is a work in progress.  Our hope is that this helps you plan for your testing and integration of these new software releases in your organization.

With the most recent release of KB_SQL Version v52 (April 2010), we will be ready once again to define the scope of the next release.

We'd appreciate your feedback on this new approach to software release management.  Please contact us with your thoughts and comments.
