Date Version Description
Dec 10, 2013 4.35.2 Compatibility with Windows 8.1, minor cosmetic changes.
Sep 4, 2012 4.35
 
Installation program now supports installs on Windows 8. After testing on the final Windows 8 release, we have found no compatibility issues and have therefore modified the installation program to include Windows 8 in the platform check.
Feb 18, 2010 4.34 Small changes for better compatibility with Windows 7 and 64-bit Windows
Feb 3, 2009 4.33 Corrects a few small typos
Jan 23, 2009 4.32 Improved loading speed.
Sep 24, 2008 4.31 Added Avery 8869 template
When printing outline test page, now prints bolder lines, and prints the inside card margin (if any) as a dotted line inside the solid line
April 29, 2008 4.30 Windows Vista support
March 2, 2008 4.20 New option to create your own card backgrounds from your own pictures/images/photos (registered users)

70 new high quality backgrounds in new categories "Subtle Patterns" and "Images"
Jan 4, 2007 4.17 Italic, right aligned text was sometimes getting truncated when saving to high resolution bitmap

Adds a preview for cards saved as BMP files (but not jpg)

Nov 9, 2006 4.16 The Callout control was not keeping proportions when zooming
Sep 13, 2006 4.15 The multiline text item now supports greater than 254 characters of text.
Jul 3, 2006 4.14 New: Added function to save card to a high resolution (300 dpi) bitmap file (only for Windows XP or above)

Fixed: In rare cases, symbol fonts have empty character slots and this would case a "divide by zero" error since the with of the character could be zero.

Apr 19, 2006 4.13 Using some fonts, text would have the bottoms cut off when printing or previewing.
When zooming in or out, right aligned text would not always appear right aligned. (this was an issue with the preview only)
Mar 28, 2006 4.12 When multiline text is right-aligned, if there is a trailing space character to the right edge of the line, it will now be truncated, caused the last actual text character to be aligned to the right

Added crop marks option, for use when printing on plain (not already perforated) paper

Jan 11, 2006 4.11 Fixed an problem that could result in the error message "Bitmap image is not valid", especially when working with rotated (vertical, portrait) orientation cards

Fixed an error that, when printing or previewing, could cause a background image to not be rotated to suit a rotated (vertical, portrait) orientation business card, when the source background image was a .jpg or .gif type file
Nov 30, 2005 4.10 Added ability to load JPG or GIF as background. This helps to accommodate smaller (less bandwidth) background sets to be made, and allow more flexibility in creating User Defined backgrounds (for more info on User Defined backgrounds, see "Can I make my own backgrounds? " in the help file)
