*[CALL TO ACTION] testing new FoxTrot Search version 6 public beta 5 please*
Dear FoxTrot-Search customers,
Please find below the last public beta before release. PLEASE, may we ask
you to download, install, use and report back on here or using our
reporting form
http://rucksearchcom.ipage.com/download/beta/foxtrot-search- version-6.html
There have been quite a bit of downloading going on, but too little
feedback. Even if all is well, we do want to hear about it before the final
6.0 release.
THANK YOU !
The FoxTrot-search team
at CTM Development SA
*FoxTrot 6.0 beta 5 release notes*
Welcome to the third *public* beta of FoxTrot Professional Search, FoxTrot
Search Server and FoxTrot Personal Search.
One year in the making, this release is index-compatible with version 5.7
so you can run either alternatively without compromising your indices.
This release has been extensively tested in-house and we feel it is ripe
for beta testing with our most dedicated users, which is why you are
receiving this (as a member of the foxtrot-discuss Google group)
To download, please use either of the following links:
