Given the amount of underlying code change in this next version, I thought it a good idea to get a little bit more of the "real-life" testing before making version 2.2 generally available. And I figure those who browse and post on the Tournament Director forums have a higher than average interest in the software, so who better to test it?
If you're a brave soul and would like to test the software, read on:
- "Beta" software is not "alpha" software. Alpha software is known to be incomplete. Beta software is (supposed to be) complete. This is what I will be posting in this section for download. The "beta" version(s) of the Tournament Director 2.2 are complete, and I believe I have found all the existing bugs. However, additional testers will likely hit scenarios I have inadvertently missed and will hopefully help to uncover any bugs I may have not yet found.
- If you run the software in a live tournament, be prepared for problems.
- Version 2.2 saved tournaments are NOT backwards compatible. You will not be able to load your version 2.2 tournaments into the Tournament Director 2.0, 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.2, etc.
- You can have more than one version of the software installed, just select a different disk location and different Start Menu path for each one. However, when you wish to uninstall one of them, you should use the Uninstall link in your Start Menu for the corresponding version. There will only be one entry in the Add/Remove Programs dialog, and it will uninstall the most recently installed version. Also, uninstalling will remove your license information, if you are a registered user of the software, so keep your registration information handy so you can re-enter it the next time you start the software.
- Please post any comments you have. If you have problems, post them here or email them to support@thetournamentdirector.net. Please post your comments if you experience no problems, too. It's always good to get a perspective on how stable the software is.
- Thank you in advance for your participation.
