I believe we're seeing real progress in resolving some long-standing problems and making v.2 a valuable program. Keep up the great work! </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/subcaptions#post-1359 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 11:42:38 +0000 calvarylutheran 1359@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>In version 2.1.26.23749 when type #ref# to show Scripture references for liturgy, nothing appears. I really appreciated the people knowing for where our liturgy comes, but I don't see that anymore. Am I doing something wrong? </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/2125-released-to-beta#post-1299 Tue, 19 May 2009 09:12:35 +0000 Ryan Markel 1299@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed 2.1.25 to beta users. They should be receiving the update soon and we would appreciate your cooperation in informing us if anything is broken or the update process does not work correctly.</p> <p>We hope to release this update to all users as soon as possible. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/2125-coming-soon-what-happened-to-the-stats#post-1294 Fri, 15 May 2009 14:32:12 +0000 Ryan Markel 1294@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just finished putting a few touches on a 2.1.25 update for you, and we're going to run it through some beta testing before sending it out to everyone.</p> <p>We're mentioning this right now because we'd like to take a moment to explain to you what's happened with the Statistics module in Builder 2 and why you haven't had any stats for a while.</p> <p>When fixing up something else in Builder back in February, we managed to set the statistics module so that it didn't actually record the stats for any hymn that was used beyond the first level of depth in a service (which is normally all of them). For most of you, this means that you haven't been recording hymn stats for a few months now.</p> <p>This is completely our fault, and we apologize for it. Builder 2.1.25 will restore the functionality of the statistics recorder and module and you will once again be able to track your hymns.</p> <p>You will continue to notice a "hole" in your stats for services you worked on between the day you upgraded to Builder 2.1.6 and today. We are working on a solution for this lapse. In the next update to Builder, you’ll find a menu command that will quickly repair all your statistics.</p> <p>We go to great lengths to prevent problems such as this one from occurring in the Builder update and development process. This was unfortunately the kind of thing that slipped right through and then took us much longer to fix than expected.</p> <p>Thank you once again for being a Lutheran Service Builder customer and for supporting our product. It is our pleasure to serve you through Lutheran Service Builder and other solutions. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/builder-2122-released-to-all-users#post-1197 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 13:09:43 +0000 Ryan Markel 1197@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed a series of patches to bring Builder up to version 2.1.22.</p> <p>There is more information in a related news post here:</p> <p><a href="http://cphconnect.org/builder/2009/04/20/lutheran-service-builder-2122-released-to-all-users/" rel="nofollow">http://cphconnect.org/builder/2009/04/20/lutheran-service-builder-2122-released-to-all-users/</a></p> <p>Since we encountered some strange problems with the last Updater patch, please inform us ASAP if you see anything weird with the installation of these updates. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/beta-users-2116-posted-to-beta#post-1087 Tue, 24 Mar 2009 13:42:59 +0000 Ryan Markel 1087@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed 2.1.16 to beta. Here's what's changed since 2.1.15:</p> <p><strong>Changes</strong></p> <ul> <li>Colored the title “bubble” of “Create Service” to distinguish it more from “Edit Service”</li> <li>Added Liturgies to “Creative Worship” modules</li> <li>The default hymnal when choosing hymns in LiturgyElementEditor is not the module you are in but Lutheran Service Book</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p> <ul> <li>Resolved issue where searching from the Home Screen would load an empty Search Task</li> <li>Resolved performance issue where searches could be performed many times if the user held down the ‘Enter’ key</li> <li>Resolved issue with ResultTree that would generate errors as a result of concurrent searches</li> <li>Improved error information for null reference exception in AppWindow.ResetConditionalMenuItems and prevented exception from crashing Builder</li> <li>Resolved issue where content Copied, Printed, or Saved from Builder would always be in the format (e.g. Text, Melody, et al) that was first exported</li> <li>Resolved issue where extensions would not be appended to saved files if the filename ends with with looks like an extension (i.e. if “4pptx” is the file name)</li> <li>Resolved a number of odd problems introduced in 2.1.15 when creating a new hymn (ContentNames weren’t selecting correctly because stanzas needed to be specified)</li> <li>Resolved issue introduced in 2.1.15 which prevented TreeView nodes from being collapsed</li> </ul> <p>As always, if you have any issues with this update, please post in the appropriate forum or leave a message here. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/beta-users-patches-posted-up-to-2115#post-1042 Fri, 13 Mar 2009 08:50:38 +0000 Ryan Markel 1042@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We're releasing a couple of patches to bring beta users up to 2.1.15 this morning. We'd like those of you who grab them to take them for a spin and see if you notice anything working incorrectly.</p> <p>There have been a couple of changes to the Plan Service task made to try and clean it up a little bit and unify the interface slightly. We've also taken the opportunity to fix a handful of problems you've reported. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/the-builder-2-manual#post-1046 Mon, 16 Mar 2009 11:08:45 +0000 Ryan Markel 1046@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Good morning, Builder users.</p> <p>We are beginning work on what will become a fairly comprehensive set of documentation for Builder 2 (something that we should have started a while back). I've begun entering articles into the documentation system and have arranged a basic outline already detailing the sections I'm certain we are going to have.</p> <p>If you don't mind, I'd appreciate it if some of you would take a look at it and suggest for us any article additions or specific topics you'd like to see this manual address. We're hoping it will be the main stop for anyone who needs additional instruction in how to use Builder.</p> <p><a href="http://cphconnect.org/builder/docs/Lutheran_Service_Builder_2_Manual" rel="nofollow">http://cphconnect.org/builder/docs/Lutheran_Service_Builder_2_Manual</a></p> <p>Thanks a lot! I'll be out of the office for the next couple of days, so I won't be able to respond immediately, but I'm looking forward to receiving your feedback on this topic and working with you to make better documentation for all of our users. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/massive-data-push-incoming-to-all-users#post-858 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:45:23 +0000 Ryan Markel 858@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We have been working on tweaking and adjusting a whole bunch of things in the Builder databases over the past couple of months and have been waiting to complete all of those changes to satisfaction before releasing the material.</p> <p>You should be receiving these changes before the end of the day today. They cover a huge number of fixes and small updates to things that either had problems with the transition to 2.x or didn't work the way we wanted them to. I'm working on some more detailed notes covering these migrations, but the big things are:</p> <p>* A substantial decrease in the number of Common Elements available, and they are now offered to you in groups by type of element, then alphabetized within those groups<br /> * All hymns and collects should now be properly sorted as expected<br /> * The collects unique to the Treasury of Daily Prayer are now included and searchable within Lutheran Service Builder<br /> * All Rites have received a pass to eliminate language that was altered or broken with the 2.x transition (no more Baptismal blessings everywhere)<br /> * Other inconsistencies in the data have been fixed or adjusted where needed<br /> * The number of search results will no longer display duplicate results from elements not properly following "Builder 2 style"</p> <p>We'll be going through and altering the status of bug reports to reflect these changes through this afternoon and tomorrow. If you notice anything not working properly, please let us know and we'll take care of it. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/2111-released-to-all-users#post-857 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 13:40:32 +0000 Ryan Markel 857@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Just a note to inform everyone that the patch to 2.1.11 is now available through the automatic update service. I'm currently working on some notes to detail what's been changed.</p> <p>This is the version we (finally) plan on committing to disc, so if you notice anything out of sorts, please notify us ASAP so we can make changes prior to the disc going to replication.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/2110-released-to-beta#post-842 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 09:41:36 +0000 Ryan Markel 842@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Any user who has checked in their Preferences that they would prefer to receive beta versions of updates will receive the update to version 2.1.10 a little later today.</p> <p>This update contains the following changes:</p> <ul> <li>"Renew Annual Subscriptions" has been added to the Tools menu to give users a method to update their subscriptions manually if the need arises.</li> <li>Changes that are made to an element in a custom liturgy that originally came from Lutheran Service Book are now saved to a local copy of that element.</li> <li>Added proxy settings to the Preferences dialog.</li> <li>Improved the exception handling for missing Internet connections or Internet connections that cannot be detected by Lutheran Service Builder.</li> <li>Resolved an oddity with the validation of deleted Locations in the Preferences Dialog.</li> </ul> <p>The big one here is the one about elements copied from Lutheran Service Book. Several users have reported that changes they make to a liturgy were not being saved. Thanks to a couple of very helpful users, we were able to track down that problem and isolate it to something that (unfortunately) had to be redesigned slightly in the code in order to accommodate this kind of action. This change will require some testing in order to ensure that it is handled properly and is not generating additional problems for users.</p> <p>To this end, we are releasing the update to the beta path and will be watching for additional reports to come in while we are in the testing period. If you are using the beta update and experience ANY undesired effects, please post in this thread as soon as possible so we can make required fixes or changes ASAP.</p> <p>Thanks for helping us test Lutheran Service Builder and make a better product for all our users. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/builder-214-released#post-780 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 09:57:09 +0000 Ryan Markel 780@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed 2.1.4 to the release system this morning; please read the following news post for more information on the changes:</p> <p><a href="http://cphconnect.org/builder/2009/01/26/builder-214-released/" rel="nofollow">http://cphconnect.org/builder/2009/01/26/builder-214-released/</a></p> <p>As always, please let us know if you encounter any issues with the update! </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/builder-200044-is-live#post-726 Tue, 13 Jan 2009 11:12:58 +0000 Ryan Markel 726@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>A patch was just pushed to upgrade build 41 to build 44 for Lutheran Service Builder 2.0.</p> <p>A log of changes is forthcoming. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/builder-200041-is-live#post-582 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:54:41 +0000 Ryan Markel 582@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed a very small patch to Builder 2.0.0041 to the update service. Please post here if you have any issues with the update.</p> <p>This update solves the problem with packages missing from Creative Worship services. It also solves a few more outstanding issues and improves controls in several tasks.</p> <p>A new master Installer will be packaged later today and will replace the current one so that customers new to Builder 2.0 will automatically be given 2.0.0041 instead of 2.0.0029. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/builder-200040-live#post-574 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 13:32:03 +0000 Ryan Markel 574@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed an update to build 40 for Lutheran Service Builder 2 this afternoon.</p> <p>This update is slightly larger than others and also requires a new method of installation (which is why we had the Updater patch released yesterday as well).</p> <p>This update should solve many problems users were experiencing with common elements as well as Creative Worship files. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/cph-software-updater-100013-live#post-560 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 10:12:48 +0000 Ryan Markel 560@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>The update to the CPH Software Updater to version 1.0.0013 has just been pushed to the automatic update service.</p> <p>This update makes possible further larger-scale updates to Lutheran Service Builder itself. We have an update to Builder that will also be published a little later today or tomorrow. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/200036-released#post-499 Tue, 02 Dec 2008 13:39:24 +0000 Ryan Markel 499@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>We just pushed 2.0.0036 to the automatic update service. This update solves a handful of problems that have been reported here. For a detailed list of changes, please see this page:</p> <p><a href="http://cphconnect.org/builder/docs/LSB_2.0.0036" rel="nofollow">http://cphconnect.org/builder/docs/LSB_2.0.0036</a></p> <p>We are also preparing a 2.0.0037 update for later this week that solves a problem where chant lines and marks can't be removed from pointed resources. We will post with more information when that update is available. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/200034-and-data-update-progress#post-459 Mon, 24 Nov 2008 10:20:43 +0000 Ryan Markel 459@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>Good morning!</p> <p>We just posted a patch to 2.0.0034 to the automatic update service. You likely won't notice too many changes from your side on this one; we implemented a handful of changes designed to improve the migration of services and elements from Builder 1 to Builder 2 and fixed a handful of other bugs along the way.</p> <p>We are still working on a data update to solve the Lectionary strangeness that you've been seeing in these next few weeks, and hope to have it posted ASAP. We will update with news when we have more.</p> <p>I'll also be posting the LetUsPray files a little later today for the 30th, as I know there will be many offices closed for the week early this week. </p> http://cphconnect.org/forum/topic/builder-200033-released#post-440 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 14:29:50 +0000 Ryan Markel 440@http://cphconnect.org/forum/ <p>An update was just pushed to fix a single problem: you couldn't switch options in a service outline.</p> <p>Please make sure you have updated to 2.0.0033. If you are unable to do so by running the Check for Updates command within Builder, please close Builder and run the CPH Software Updater through the shortcut we installed in your Start menu. </p>
