After what seems like an age, we're finally ready to roll with file@home v2 and to say we're chuffed about this release would be an understatement!!

The bulk of the code has been ready for some time, but we've been putting it through some serious testing to make sure there are no surprises for our customers when they start to download/install/upgrade etc.

So, what's changed. Well, in a word everything. Long time users will notice that the program is functionally very much the same as the first releases - which from a usability point of view is great, if you've used the previous version, then you can use this version straight away! Obviously there's the mandatory 'coat of paint' that all new releases get, but underneath the code is more compact, neater and all round faster than before so you can get things done much quicker.

The biggest new features are the Reminders and the Monitor. When you add documents now you can choose to set a reminder so that when a certain date arrives, guess what? yep, you'll get a reminder. There's a handy pre-defined list and the option to set your own details too. The reminders go hand in hand with the Monitor as this lets you access all the details without having to open them main file@home program! It'll also show popup's when you start your computer and when you click the icon in the task bar.

The help file is vastly improved too (for those that need a little helping hand) and it's been re-written as a PDF which makes finding content much easier.

So, what are you waiting for? It's ready for download on our site now on the downloads page. Post in the forum if you have any issues, queries or comments.

Enjoy!
