This release adds new features and bug fixes to v6.1.0 for Windows and Mac. You will require a v6 licence key to unlock the full functionality. v6 is a paid upgrade from v5 (free if you purchased v5 within 3 months of v6 being released). You can buy a new licence key here (or upgrade from a previous version here). See also our upgrade FAQ.
We recommend that you back-up important plan files before installing any new release.
The download links are at the bottom of the page.
Backward/forward compatibility
This version can read plan (.tp) files saved by any earlier version of PerfectTablePlan. But reading v6 plans into versions of the software before v6 may lose some data.

All editions
Windows and Mac
1. You can now tell the automatic seat assignment algorithm to try to create socially distanced seating charts by placing empty seats between guests from different groups. Just check social distancing in the Auto assign tab of the Preferences window.
Note that you need to have more seats than guests. Ideally, at least one extra seat for each group.
Windows only
2. Previously the main window reappeared in a slightly different position to the close position. This is now fixed.
Mac only
3. Previously .csv files were exported with CRLF line endings, rather than the LF line endings typical for macOS. This is now fixed.
4. In macOS 10.15 (Catalina), saving a file over an existing file with the same name can cause a crash. This appears to be a macOS bug and we hope Apple will fix it soon. As a workaround you should either:
- Uncheck use native file open/save windows in the General tab of the Preferences window; or
- Change the file name (even changing the name to something else and back may work!); or
- Delete the old file with that name first
MacOS 10.14 and earlier are not affected.
