Series Two Release (Support)
On January 18th, 2013 I released a new Series Two version of la Coupon-Tracker, this Series
version number starts with the number 2, like v2.0.15.
The Series One version started with the number
1, like v1.0.15. The series One version
was developed using Microsoft Office Access 2007 as the database
platform, mainly because that's the version of Access that I had at
that time. The new series Two version uses
Microsoft SQL Ce as the database platform. So now, the new la
Coupon-Tracker databases are embedded into the application and is no
longer dependent on Access 2007 drivers.
The advantage of the new Series Two
Version of la Coupon-Tracker is how easily it installs and runs on
most any Windows based platform including the new Windows 8. This
was not the case with the previous series. In fact the Series One
was a nightmare because of it's dependency of Microsoft Office
Access 2007 drivers and runtime. Now days, for newer 64 bit machines
running newer versions of Microsoft Office or even machines not
running Office at all, it had become almost impossible to install la
Coupon-Tracker Series One with the Access databases.
