We are glad to announce that FieldWorks version 9.0.8 is being released. This version fixes a lot of serious bugs in version 9.0.7.<\/p><\/div>
\n

With Send\/Receive, FW9.0.8 will not merge data with colleagues using any older versions of Flex. With this version both the data model in Flex as well as the data model in FlexBridge are both critical to being able to merge with colleagues. The Flex data model has not changed since FW9.0.4, but the FlexBridge model has changed in FlexBridge 3.1.4-beta.307 which is installed by FW9.0.8. So if you are using Send\/Receive with colleagues, all users will need to upgrade to FW9.0.8 to continue collaboration.<\/p><\/div>
\n

On Linux you must also update Paratext to version 9 if you are installing version 9 of FieldWorks. If you need to continue using Paratext 8 then you should keep using FieldWorks 8.<\/p><\/div>
\n

With this release, on Windows you must update Paratext to version 9. If you need to continue using Paratext 8 then you should not use this (or later) versions.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

For more specifics about version 9.0 and the changes made, see the beta release notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bugs fixed since version 9.0.7<\/strong><\/p>\n
