I received a Facebook notification last night:
Dear RootsMagic community,
We're excited to announce the release of RootsMagic version 9, our latest software update that includes new features and improvements designed to make your genealogy research experience more enjoyable and efficient. We want to take this opportunity to address some of the concerns that have been brought to our attention by users regarding our decision to focus on version 9.
First and foremost, we want to clarify that version 9 is not a bug-fix release. All bugs addressed in RootsMagic 9 were also addressed in the latest update to RootsMagic 8. While we continue to fix bugs, we are also adding new features and functionality to our current version, which we believe will benefit our users. We want to ensure that our users have access to the latest technology and tools, and we believe that version 9 represents a significant step forward for RootsMagic.
We also want to emphasize that while we are not planning to release any further updates to prior versions, we will continue to offer technical support for all prior versions, including version 8. If you experience any issues or bugs, we will do our best to help you resolve them.
We value your loyalty and support, and we hope that you will give version 9 a try to experience all the new features and benefits it has to offer. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer support team.
Thank you.
