Flight Logs 64-bit Version Install Bug – Corrected

Flight Logs home page

We were recently notified of an installation bug in the 64-bit version of Flight Logs, release 8.5.2 BETA. When a user attempted to install the Flight Logs software, it would indicate that a file was missing and could not continue.

Upon being notified of the issue, we discovered that the download file on SourceForge was corrupted. This file was removed from the downloads listing and a new version was uploaded.

This new version is now listed as Flight Logs 64-bit 8.5.2 BETA 2. If you have previously downloaded the earlier version and found it would not install, we encourage to download this version and install it.

This issue only applies to the 64-bit version installation file. The 32-bit version and the Developers version are not affected. Further, there is no issue with the Flight Logs database itself. The error was contained wholly within the set-up program.

Flight Logs Version 0.8.5.2 BETA Now Available

This is the eleventh release of the Flight Logs Access database software. It should be considered BETA level software and not for use in a production environment. This is the first release in the 0.8 BETA series. You can download it from our SourceForge repository at https://sourceforge.net/projects/flight-log/files/

This version of the database is being release while work continues on several programming areas and user documentation. This release includes a number of fixes.

The primary purpose of the 0.8 series is to focus on correcting any issues that are present/known in the software. This is in preparation for the 0.9 series which will be the Release Candidate (RC) versions. There are no new features in this release, nor are any expected until after the version 1.0 release.

Flight Logs Update Version 0.7.4.1

We are releasing the ninth update to the Flight Logs Access database software. This version has no new updates and is considered a bug release. It should still be considered ALPHA level software and not for use in a production environment. It corrects the following issues:

  • The first issue occurs with the Access Trusted Location. This is experienced when you installed the database but it wouldn’t open. The error message would have indicated that the database table was linked to the previous database path.
  • The second update occurs during the boot process and the display of the Main Menu. A black dialog box with a yellow triangle icon is displayed, but no text is visible. This error was associated with the custom icon option in preferences. This has also been corrected.
  • The MESS Report would report an error if no records were available.
  • NARTREK reports could be activated before any personnel were entered into the database.
  • Several reports would display an error message if no data was present.
  • Removed erroneous default data from the launch sites table and the 3D printer tables.

This version of the database is being release while work continues on several programming areas and user documentation. There are no new features in this update.

The update can be downloaded from our SourceForge site at https://sourceforge.net/projects/flight-log/files/Flight Logs Version 0.7.4.1/
