Announcing Directory Opus 13 - Public Beta now open!

[Jon]

After seven years of development, we're very happy to take the wrapping off Directory Opus 13 with the start of the public beta period!

Discover what's new in Opus 13:

• Highlights - major new features
• Detailed list of changes

Please note:

• This is a beta, so you may encounter bugs. If you find problems or have feedback, please tell us via the Opus 13 Public Beta area. If there's a crash, you can use the integrated crash reporter to send details to us.

• Before installing 13, please use Settings > Backup & Restore to backup your Opus 12 configuration. This is important if you want to go back to 12, and might also help us fix issues with config conversion.

• System requirements: Windows 7 or higher, 64-bit only.

• The manual is still being updated, and not all translations are complete yet.

• Pricing, upgrade information and release date have not yet been determined. Anyone purchasing Opus 12 after Opus 13 was announced will get a free upgrade (and others may too, but this hasn't been determined yet, so please don't ask )

Registered Directory Opus 12 users can try Opus 13 for free during the public beta period. You'll need a new program certificate to run Opus 13:

• Sign up and get your Opus 13 public beta certificate
• Download Directory Opus 13

We hope you are as excited about the new version as we are!

Here on the forum, we've created an area for the new version:

• Opus 13 Public Beta -- Main area for questions & feedback.

Inside that are two sub-categories:

• 13 Beta Releases -- New beta installers & change notes are posted here.

• 13 Beta Examples -- Themes, scripts, and more in-depth examples for Opus 13.

New posts in the sub-categories will also appear in the main area, so you do not need to check all three every time you visit the forum. The sub-categories are just there to help find important/useful things which would be buried under all the discussion threads otherwise.
