v5.1.3 now available for Mac OS X

Mac OS X 10.9Apple released Mac OS X 10.9 ('Mavericks') yesterday. Unfortunately it causes an issue with PerfectTablePlan v5.1.1. Text isn't properly aligned in controls (such as buttons and drop-down menus). This doesn't cause any real problems, but it makes the PerfectTablePlan user interface look a bit odd. So we have been up half the night working out a fix and making a new release.

The new release also fixes a bug in a third party library that sometimes causes PerfectTablePlan v5.1.1 to crash when printing stationery on Mac OS X 10.8. The crash only seems to occur when printing rotated images. Thank you to a number of people who reported this.

v5.1.3 is a free upgrade to all customers with a valid v5 licence. We expect to make this the production release for Mac in a few days and recommend that all v5 users with Mac OS X 10.8 or 10.9 upgrade. As always, please let us know if you have any problems with the new release.

Note that this is a Mac only release. There is no new Windows release

v5.1.2 was an internal release, for testing.

NB/ You can install Mac OS X 10.9 via the Mac App store. It's free! But it might break some of your existing applications.


Integrating with Eventbrite

EventBriteCollecting RSVPs can be a bit tedious. However there are lots of websites that can automate the process for you. PerfectTablePlan plays nicely with most of them. One of the biggest players in event registration systems is Eventbrite. Their service is free if you aren't using them to collect payment.  We put together a quick video showing you how easy it is to integrate EventBrite with PerfectTablePlan.
