Nisus Writer Pro 2.1.1 Beta

After the release of Nisus Writer Pro 2.1 we discovered a few bugs that we felt we should fix sooner rather than later. So instead of waiting we decided to release a beta version of Nisus Writer Pro 2.1.1.

This version fixes a problem where licenses in certain instances were not detected, an issue with choosing a new Document Manager folder that is a subfolder of the existing Document Manager folder can incorrectly delete a whole folder, if the user chooses to migrate files. There are also fixes for various sandboxing bugs and other minor issues.

You can download this beta from our Nisus Writer Pro 2.1.1 beta page.

For your own sanity please remember that this is a beta release and still in development. Bad things can happen to valuable documents, so please use copies and appropriate caution.

We hope to have the final version of Pro 2.1.1 released very soon. We’ll announce the release in our newsletter and on this blog.

Anne Cuneo

We are sad to report the death of a longtime devoted supporter of Nisus Software Inc, and an active participant in our forum, raising good questions and offering sage advice.

My colleague Mark Hurvitz and his wife had the opportunity to meet Anne in September of 2010. She graciously took them around her neighborhood in the old town of Zurich. Anne was widely knowledgeable and deeply thoughtful. She will be sorely missed.

Anne’s life and death were noted in this lengthy article (in French).

As Mark said in his forum post, “May her memory be for a blessing.”
