Broadcast Power is now at version 2.5.5.8
With the upgraded Broadcast Power, 2.5.1 we completely changed the user interface.
Instead of a dockable tabbed interface with a top menu, we have chosen to use a RibbonMenu with buttons. Each button displays a specific part or aspect of the application, shielding you from all others. This simplifies your user experiences and focuses your attention on the task on hand.
Searching for a specific functionality is now easier as the RibbonMenu has its items grouped in a logical manner.
Also, our installer now has been slashed in size; it's smaller and better. The installer does not attempt to create the database schema, instead, we have placed this functionality within the application.
Many of the error messages have been modified and made more readable with, where possible, suggestions for solving the error.
Best of all, it's now completely free. A new Broadcast Power License was written for Broadcast Power.
