Hi YAKers,
  
Compendium 1.3.02:
Windows / MacOS X / Linux

We're pleased to
announce that cross-platform Compendium is now available.
Thanks to all those Mac and Linux
people who've been waiting so patiently. 
Thanks
to our testers who have been
putting the tool through its paces and feeding back. 

Go to the Downloads
page and grab the installer for
your chosen platform:
http://www.compendiuminstitute.org/download/download.htm

PLEASE take the trouble to read the
platform-specific
Installation
Guide,
which explains how to install MySQL,
use a current installation if you already have it. In particular,
remember to start MySQL after installing it!

If you're already a
Windows user then Compendium
1.3.02 is a relatively minor upgrade, but ensures that you have a few
recent bug fixes, PLUS the ability to
give Maps/Lists
their own meaningful 'cover'
image, a feature which our beta
testers have found brings maps to life in useful and fun ways. You can
install direct over your current Compendium folder, but if you want to
keep your new installation completely clean (we've restructured a few
bits) then rename your current folder and then copy over folders that you
want (e.g. Linked Files, Exports, Backups).

For the developers among you, having stabilized the code across
platforms, with a bit of documentation, we're aiming for an
Open
Source release by end of May.
  
Yours,

The Compendium
