New Features in BSD SpecLink

The Winter release of SpecLink includes a number of new and enhanced features. New Tag options have been added to the PerSpective and Short Form tabs for future use in generating reports. In response to requests from our subscribers, we plan to add substantiation reports based on project phase in an upcoming release.

We have modified the Table of Contents report to use all upper case for the section titles, if that is the setting selected in the Customize Styles dialog box for the Level 0 titles. Previously, the titles would be printed in whatever case they happened to appear in the Project Tree. Another new feature is the ability to enter a UNC path as the default Project Location in the System Settings tab on the Permissions dialog box. Previously, the project location had to be a mapped drive. You can either type in the UNC path or paste it in from a Windows Explorer window.

We have also modified or corrected a number of minor problems in the software, including a change to the Export to RTF feature that retains all margin settings for the project. The changes this quarter have all been incremental, rather than revolutionary, but we believe they will all be useful to our subscribers. Please let us know what you think.
