FW: Panorama 5.5 Now Available

[Meir Weingarten]

Jim,
I'm still using 5.5b9  I started getting the alerts about the version being
outdated.

I'm hesitant to update the clients without knowing whether I need to update
the server as well.

(see below)

Is there a quick yes or no answer to whether I can just upgrade the client
software w/o the server (the server is version 5.5b9 build 66475)

thanx

>> 
>> This final 5.5 release includes two major new elements we haven't
>> announced before in any of the previous beta releases:
>> 
>> 1) Brand new documentation
>> 
>> Panorama 5.5 includes two all new books: "Welcome to Panorama" and
>> "Panorama Essentials". If almost 2,000 pages of the Panorama Handbook
>> seemed like just too much to take, take heart, Panorama Essentials was
>> created with you in mind. It's less than 1/3rd the size of the Handbook
>> and contains everything that 90% of Panorama users need to know, without
>> all of the distracting super-advanced material. The PDF version is free
>> and you can even purchase a softback cover version for only $39.95.
>> 
>> 2) Embed programs written in Perl, Ruby, Python or PHP directly into
>> Panorama databases!
>> 
>> This opens up the huge (and generally free) code libraries available for
>> these alternate languages for use within Panorama, including tools for
>> manipulating complex numbers and matrices, pattern matching, statistical
>> calculations, linear equations, image manipulation, sql database access,
>> cryptographic services, xml parsing and various internet protocols
>> including dns, ftp, smtp, pop3, imap, telnet, ssh, bittorrent, soap and
>> low level tcp/udp access.
>> 
>> In addition to the two new books we've also updated all of the other
>> books, so be sure to download the deluxe version if you want to have
>> up-to-date documentation (and who doesn't?).
>> 
>> This new version includes a number of minor new features and hundreds of
>> bug fixes. If you are interested in all of the gory details they are
>> available on this page, which lists all of the changes since the 5.5b9
>> release:

>> outs to Dave Thompson, Chris Watts, Eric Bolden, Jim Cook, Peter
>> Guerrini and Mark de Jong.

>> P.S. Don't worry, we're not going to be taking a break just because 5.5
>> is out, not even a little one. The Panorama Enterprise server is still a
>> "preview" status project, and several other projects are stacked up
>> behind that. So please don't despair if your favorite feature or bug fix
>> didn't make it into the 5.5 release.
>> 
>> P.P.S. The new web site heralds our first big step in updating ProVUE's
>> own aging infrastructure. The web site was moved from an OS9/WebSTAR
>> server running Panorama 3.1 to the very latest -- an Intel Mac Mini
>> running OS X 10.5 Server with the latest Panorama Enterprise 5.5 --
>> quite a jump! I'm loving it.
