At long last, we have a new release of Realm Works available! However, this release is NOT being made the official new version. This is instead a BETA release.
The reason we’re doing it this way is that there are some MAJOR changes in this new version. The biggest change is that the product is now a true 64-bit application. And, despite all the testing that we’ve done in-house, we want to proceed with an abundance of caution. So this is a BETA release that ALL existing Realm Works users are welcome to put into use. As a safeguard, we have ensured that there are zero changes to the underlying data between this Beta and the existing version that everyone is assumedly using (build 245). If anything goes wrong for you when using this new version, you can downgrade back to the existing build 245 without any impact to your data. To downgrade, simply download build 245 and install it over the Beta version. This will revert everything back to the old version and you’ll be right where you are today. I will follow this post with the full release notes for the Beta release. Since many of you are chomping at the bit to download it, I better just shut up, since it’s questionable how much longer you’ll keep reading. So here are the two download links. The first one is the new Beta release and the second is for build 245, just in case anyone needs to revert back. Realm Works Beta (build 246): https://www.realmworks.net/beta/Real...46_install.exe – Simply download this and install it over your current build 245 Realm Works Official Version (build 245): http://download.wolflair.com/rw/Real...45_install.exe – To downgrade from the Beta, simply download and install over the Beta Note: Our email hosting provider got things massively messed up Sunday night, and we’re apparently now in a Catch-22 with them, so the problem is still not yet resolved. If you run into an issue with this Beta release, please post it here in the forums instead of submitting it to tech support via email. |

Release Notes for Realm Works® Version 1.0.1086.246 (BETA)
NOTE! This new build is a Beta release and entirely optional. As a Beta release, there are numerous changes in this build that may have problems we have not uncovered through our internal testing. You are welcome to continue using the previous build, and you are encouraged to do so if you are uncomfortable making use of a Beta release. NOTE! If you utilize this Beta release and run into problems with it, you can safely downgrade to the previous version (build 245) – but not to earlier releases. To downgrade, simply download the old version and install it over this Beta version. All of your data will remain intact between the two versions. Of course, you’ll be limited to the capabilities of the older version. There is now full support for running as a 64-bit application. If your computer supports 64-bits, the product will automatically run in 64-bit. There is nothing special that needs to be done, as this is all handled automatically under the covers. The following implications exist with this change:
All content creation now channels through the “Create New Content Element” form for consistency of operation. This has the following implications:
The navigation pane for topics and articles has been completely rewritten using a totally new mechanism. There are a variety of changes and implications that accompany this replacement, including the following.
The following additional minor enhancements and changes were introduced in this release:
