Eidolon 1.7b has been release. This is a bug fix version which fixed a number of fatal errors which have been reported in the field; there are no new features however it is recommended that you update to this version. regards Dave.
Eidolon’s home page has now moved into this blog and can be found on this page. I will release a bug fix for Eidolon (1.7b) in the next week which resolves a number of issues that users have experienced over the last few months. regards Dave.

Surprisingly enough, having used Eidolon in anger for the first time, I found a number of bugs and some features that I thought would be useful.

In the current release of Eidolon (1.0a [Build 1.0.1.1280]) there is a bug which only allows you to get text locations from time location drawings rendered in Korax. There is a simple workaround for this until I release the next version (hopefully at the end of Mar 2010). At the top of a time location… Read More »
It was suggested to me the other day that Eidolon’s installation was possibly too complicated for some, so the next release will use a setup programme to install and register Eidolon with the system. The same rules will apply for the installation, i.e. you will need to be either a PowerUser or and Administrator to… Read More »
