As we mentioned in the last newsletter in March, Gissing’s development team has adopted a new process for Gissing ConteX MCS. We will be releasing a smaller number of more comprehensive releases each year, and pre-announcing them so that our clients are aware of new features and fixes, and can choose in advance whether and when to install the new releases.
The first of these products is Gissing ConteX MCS R3.70, which is currently undergoing internal testing and is scheduled to become available to current clients in mid-June.
