Month: April 2010

We are happy to announce the release of Nisus Writer Express 3.3.2 and Nisus Writer Pro 1.4.1.

Both Nisus Writer Express 3.3.2 and Nisus Writer Pro 1.4.1 are bug fix releases. Pro 1.4.1 also gains an updated file importer. For those of you who want to read the release notes for Express, you can find them on the Express release notes page. The Pro release notes are can be found on the Pro release notes page.

These updates can be downloaded from our Express and Pro pages. They can also be downloaded from within the applications, using the “Check for Updates…” menu located under the Nisus Writer Express or Nisus Writer Pro menus.

We have decided to produce an Intel-only version of Pro 1.4.1 that can be downloaded from our Pro download page. The Intel version should show a significant speed improvement in file translations (.doc import is faster, for example). This version will only run on Macs with Intel processors (this means Macs produced from early 2006 through now. You can check this by checking “About this Mac” which is located under the Apple menu on your Mac.). You can only download this version from the above link. Using the updater within Pro will download the universal binary version.

Enjoy!

Unless you have been under a rock for the past week, the ash cloud hanging over Iceland is really making a mess of air travel all over the world. Air Freight as well. I was reminded of this today when a customer from Europe was wondering when their package was going to arrive.

The latest update from the company we use for shipping (USPS) is advising their customers that “As a result of these airport closures, several postal administrations have reported they cannot receive and dispatch mail. Consequently, USPS outbound flows have been impacted beginning April 14, 2010. Although restrictions on flights are beginning to lift, outbound and inbound flows will continue to be affected.”

So if you are in Europe, and are thinking about order a Pro CD, be aware that while you will eventually receive the package, we cannot give a precise date as to when the package will arrive.

We are hoping this won’t last long and shipping will resume to normal levels soon.
