Announcement of Paretext 8β

Question

At the ELT Workshop, it was said that a beta of Paratext 8 would be available this month (June). Is that still the scheduled release date?

How will the release be announced? On this site, and on the pt-supporters list?

Answer 1

We are very close to being ready to release a P8 beta but at the moment still have 3 medium sized items to be resolved.

We definitely need to get it out the door soon. Our first big training session starts Oct 10 in Chiang Mai and P8 needs to be quite stable by then, If we don’t manage to push this out by the end of July I will be a very worried camper.

Baring any unforeseen circumstances that might come up, we are hoping to release the Beta of Paratext 8.0 at the end of next week (8/19).

Well, unforeseen circumstances came up. I’ve decided I’m not going to give a date this time, so…
It will be ready Soon™.

Keep up the good work! Now that the unforeseen issues have been bared, hopefully next time they’ll be barred.

Just to clarify: It will not be released in June.

Perhaps you could give us a one-line update on where 8β is at … any hope for a November release ?

PT8 was given out for use in a workshop that occurred at the begging of Oct. So Paratext will be released on

Whoops. Ran out of room - it didn’t fit on a line.

I don’t think we’re ready to give an estimated release date yet.

We will let you know know when it’s getting close.

Very best wishes for dealing with those medium sized items.

Answer 3

What will the minimum hardware and operating system requirements be for ParaTExt 8? Some are asking me about XP and Vista, and how much memory they will need to run Pt 8.

The hardware and OS requirements should be mostly the same as with Paratext 7 with the following notable differences:

• Windows XP is no longer supported. Vista and later are still supported.
• An internet connection is required for doing certain tasks (adding/removing users, changing roles, registering a project, etc.)

Interacting with this forum by email really doesn’t work well!

What I put in my email was obviously HTML, not Markdown, but it was pretty much like this:

I think you meant “Windows XP”. Can you edit that for future readers, and I’ll then delete this msg of mine from the website?
