The new ZDT 0.7.0 final release is out and available for download. If you've been playing around
with the RC builds, you'll mainly notice various bug fixes. Special thanks to forum posters
drahnier, rabbit, cwmccabe and jbradfor ( and others) for all their help finding bugs or adding
features.

You should see some more requested features being implemented in upcoming builds, so look out for
them. Please check out the ZDT blog for a full list of changes. Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Sorry if I’m asking questions that are probably answered somewhere else, but I couldn’t find
it on a search of “ZDT install” or “ZDT upgrade.”

My questions are:

- Is it ok to install 0.7.0 on top of 0.6.1 or do you recommend that I first uninstall 0.6.1 and
do a fresh install of 0.7.0? (I’m installing on Windows XP SP2 MCE)

- If you recommend an uninstall / new install, then is there a way to transfer my preferences and
such from 0.6.1?

Thanks!

Hi Luobot,

You should be able to install on top of 0.6.1. You will lose any extra plugins you've installed
however, and you'll have to download them again. I made a change to where the ZDT workspace folder
is located in 0.7.0 which is what holds your preferences. Instead of being in your ZDT install
directory, it is now located in your user home directory (where your user database file is
located). So I haven't actually tested this yet, but before you trying to install 0.7.0 you could
try saving your existing 0.6.1 workspace directory and then moving it over to this new location. I
would actually be interested in hearing if this works or not.

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

I tried doing as you suggested, and it seemed ok until I tried accessing help > help contents,
when I received an error message referring to line 11. I'll see if I can upload screenshots with
this post.

It's not a show stopper but thought you would like to know. I'm not sure if it's because I copied
the workspace directory back or if it would have occurred anyway for some other reason. I'm
considering uninstalling and reinstalling to find out. What would be your suggestion? (Have others
with Windows XP had no problems accessing the help system?)

After clicking Yes ...

Before uninstalling, can you send me the log files? Go to Help > Report Bug, and send me the
resulting zip file.

Thanks

I just installed 0.7.0

I like to add entries with serveral characters. I am having problems because it will not autofill.
In the previous version, it would autofill, at least, the tradtional characters and pinying. Now,
it just sits there. With inividual characters, there is no problem.

Has this functionality been changed... or is there something about the preferences that I need to
adjust.

Thanks,

Mark

Another question... I gave up trying to put works into 0.7.0 and went back to 0.6.1

Was trying to set up a new category and got this error message....

(executingPreparedStatementCallback
[org.springframework.jdc.cor.JbcTemplate$SimplePreparedStatementCreator@ef0cdb]): encountered
SQLExceptiong [Column count does not match in statement [INSERT INTO category VALUES(?,?,?,?]];
nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: Column count does not match in statement [INSERT INTO
category VALUES(?,?,?,?)]

Doesn't mean much to me... but it is stopping me from creating new catagories.

Thanks again.

Regards,

Mark

I just installed 0.7.0

However i get the following error message when trying to create new categories

Bad SQL grammer [SELECT category_name From category order by CATEGORY_ORDER] in task 'excecuting
StatementCallback'; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: Table not found in statement
[SELECT category_name FROm category]

i rolled back java from 1.6.0 to 1.5.0 but still same error

using windows vista

installed 0.6.1 and getting similiar corrupt database errors

I removed the zdt directory... reinstalled 0.6.1... and got rid of the problem with not being able
to create new categories.

I tried again with 0.7.0 and it still will will not automaticly fill in multi-character entries...
this is a major problem for me and I will keep to 0.6.1 till this can be addressed.
