Download it Now.
PedFast Technologies proudly announces the availability of The Breeder's Standard® 2012. Combining the latest in software technology with the ease-of-use that has been the hallmark of our programs for the last twenty years, PedFast Technologies now sets the bar higher and produces the best software yet again.
Pre-release #6 is now available to the public for download. You may download the software right now at http://www.pedfast.com/download for immediate installation. There are two editions available for download right now:
- Windows 32-bit, for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7 32-bit editions; and
- Windows 64-bit, for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 64-bit editions.
This software is incomplete and in pre-release form. Features are being added daily. We have a plan for twelve pre-releases and then a Release Candidate. Every weekend, we'll be releasing the next pre-release. Somewhere around Pre-Release 8, the program will automatically check for the next release on the Internet when you log in, and bring you up to the latest edition without uninstalling and reinstalling the present version.
For now, to use the pre-release, install it, create a new database (our new database format is a single file), and import a BXF file from your present software. We are tracking any reported defects using the "Report a Support Issue to Us" form at http://support.pedfast.com and will respond to these reports as quickly as possible.
If you have an older pre-release installed already, you need to uninstall that pre-release before installing the latest Pre-Release. However, you do not need to recreate your database if it was created with TBS 2010 Pre-Release #4 or later.
We'll be releasing a "tips and tricks" guide in PDF format in the next days. Pre-release 8 will see the beginning of the implementation of the all-new help system, including a striking new and helpful version of Puggsley™, our natural language help system.
Pre-release 7 should see the Apple Mac OSX install for TBS 2012 come out. We will open this test edition to all Mac users when it is released.
As the weeks go on, and we bolt in the remaining parts of TBS 2012, we believe that you'll be impressed with this latest creation.
If you purchased TBS 2009 on or after October 1, 2009, you should have already received your TBS 2010 Activation Codes from us. These activation codes will work with TBS 2012. If you do not have the codes, please contact our technical support department by using the "Report a Support Issue to Us" form at http://support.pedfast.com for fastest service.
