Beta 2 is (finally) here
« on: June 25, 2004, 08:41:32 PM »
At last, here's the beta 2. It is much better than beta 1 (countless number of bugs was fixed) so I recommend everyone to go for it asap... :)

One (major) caveat: update from beta-1 to beta-2 does not work. Sorry (I hope you can live with that). For more info, please see the website or the readme file.


Here's the official beta section link: http://www.avast.com/eng/products/beta_products/avast_distributed_ne.html


Thanks

  Vlk,
   Do we also need to remove the SQL database and start it fresh as well?

Unfortunately - yes.
In fact, that's the only thing that cannot be updated. The files are OK but the database structure changed a lot and we'd have to write migration tools from the beta-1 format - which we found quite time-consuming and probably not really needed anyway... (I mean something you'll probably tolerate since it was a beta-1 release)..
