I am pleased to announce that there is a new version of Meeting Schedule Assistant now available.
There have been seven updates to the software since the last newsletter. And now there is another. 😊These interim versions were announced on my Telegram social media channel.
You may have noticed that I have decided to drop support for the Instagram social media channel. It did not have many followers and not generating any user feedback.

Upgrading
Some users are trying to use the Check for Update feature and the software gets stuck in a cycle and doesn’t let you upgrade. There was a bug with this feature in the software several versions back and I am sorry for any inconvenience caused. 😒In this scenario you must perform a manual upgrade using the download link at the bottom of this newsletter. Then it should work correctly.
Please have a look at the Revision History to familiarize yourself with all the changes made since the last time you upgraded.
