Beta released on 13th October 2026

Hello Erik,

HAHAHA I knew you will be impatient! I will try to release a Beta with the new DX Message window before Christmas. Stay tuned!

Regarding the version numbering, the "problem" is that latest v5 Walter released was 5.8. When I started to develop Swisslog I released 5.9. then I followed with 5.91, 5.92 until I quickly arrived to 5.99! I could not release 5.1 because this version already existed! That's why I decided to continue with 5.100, 5.101 and so on. This way I have many numbers to get to 5.999! :-p

I could do a jump to 5.200 but I think version numbering is not really important. Users should know than in Swisslog, a "small" version numbering change (such as 5.118 to 5.119) doesn't mean there are minor changes. Every new version may contain dozens of important improvements even if version numbering may think users the contrary. What is really important is that users always use latest version regardless version numbering.

Ok on a possible Beta. I'm tuned hi.

Yes I understand about version numbering though I had forgotten about Walter's 5.8 and the natural progression to 5.9, 5.10 etc. It is just that a seismic update gets more notice if the marketing promotes it. So, of course carry on and no problem at all. I'd release it as Version 7 hi.  I think Swisslog is way ahead of other logbook programs and I wish there were more users and it gained many new ones. Not just because I am sure new adoptees would benefit but also because you do so much work on SWL. However, as we know: old English saying... you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.

In latest Beta, the filtering is not any better
