There was an annoying multithreaded bug causing the software to not start on some systems. Also, if you use a proxy, you will probably not be able to retrieve news in ProVAL Online (yet).

This release contains several bug fixes and new features. One thing we wanted to point out was actually a 3.00 feature: the ability to open multiple copies of ProVAL 3. This makes it much easier to compare, well, whatever you want.

Previously the ProVAL Online section on the Home page simply loaded this website. This was a stopgap until we had some time to implement this correctly. Now it will display the most current news from the site and a list of upcoming workshops. If you've turned off the Online feature, we suggest you give the new one a chance.

Finally, you may have noticed that sometimes when adding files or opening projects, you didn't always get a progress window to let you know that something was happening. So that's fixed. One of the side-effects of this new code is that currently there is not a requirement to immediately save a new or imported project. This could change in the future and will be re-examined in the next major release (3.1?).

Make sure you read the Release Notes as there are some very important changes.

Celebrate Thanksgiving with ProVAL 3.01! As always, check the Release Notes for important information. Aside from the various bug fixes, we added the ability to copy tables to the Clipboard. We ran out of time to put this feature in 3.00.  Not in the release notes is an additional installation requirement (Visual C++ 2005 SP1).  If you've not been able to get PV3 running, this could be the cause. Time permitting, the next release will address this.

We are pleased to announce the official release of ProVAL 3.0. This was the longest beta testing period we can recall, so thank you for your patience. A flurry of issues arose near the end, so please read the Release Notes to see if you are affected by the changes. We also added a Known Issues section to the Release Notes.

The PPF file specification has been updated to 1.05.  How to handle Sections in PPF has been clarified, which will hopefully eliminate any confusion.

What's next? We have a small list of features that will go into the next minor update.  Updates will be also issued as needed to fix any issues.

Update: As you read in the Release Notes, there were issues importing Input Sets from 2.7. It is recommended that you start fresh by removing the Analysis Templates file in 3.0.  Instructions for doing this are on the FAQ page, down at the bottom.  The FAQ also describes what else to do if the software crashes.
