Greetings from Karelia Software!

Thanks for the great bug reports and crash/error reports that you all have been sending our way. It's been really helpful. Our last beta version had fixed a number of issues, but a few problems that seemed minor at the time took a little longer to fix than we anticipated ... so here's another beta. Along with many fixes, we've re-done the way images are handled, so you will probably notice a good speed-up in dealing with photo pages. More details in our full release notes.

License Code Required

One thing we forgot to mention in our last email message was that the newest versions have their licensing mechanism in place, so you'll need a license to actually publish your site. We're not ready to sell licenses yet, so we've provided you some temporary keys you can use. Enter either of these codes by choosing Buy/Register Sandvox... from the Sandvox menu. (The latter one enables 'Pro' functionality like Raw HTML elements.)

(Warning: If you already entered a license code from last round, you will need to use one of these new ones; those codes expire on April 23rd.)

Parlez-Vous Français?

Merci to Sandvox Beta Tester Ronald Leroux, we have our first localization of Sandvox, in French! And the program is now in great shape for more languages, so expect to see more localizations shortly after the 1.0 release.

The Download

If you have the older beta 15 version of Sandvox running, you can download the new version by clicking on the "Update Sandvox" badge in the corner of the window. Or, just use click on this URL:

Over the next couple of weeks, we're looking to eliminate as many crashes and errors as we can, so please don't hesitate to send us those reports using our automated mechanisms. Or send in your individual bug reports from Send Feedback... in the Help menu, or by emailing us.
