This is an automated notification for a maintenance release.

You are receiving this email because you downloaded a previous trial version or purchased a previous full version of PlusSuite 1.0.
If you do not wish to receive maintenance notifications anymore, please reply to this email and put the word "REMOVE" in the subject and your email address will be automatically removed from any future mailing.

A recent maintenance release was uploaded for PlusSuite version 1.0.

This maintenance release fixes various bugs and improves the performance of many of the controls in the library.

  • Fixed a bug in the string length calculation
  • Fixed a bug in the way PlusListBox handles the DbNull.Value
  • Improved the behavior of the FontList and ColorList
  • Optimized painting
  • Improved speed in the license validator

This maintenance release is a "breaking release". This means that the projects already compiled will not work just by xcopy-ing the new library files. You must recompile all projects that use the library.
Also, in order to align with the common practice and prepare for the upcoming release of version 1.5 the binaries have been placed under a new subdirectory representing the version name. Therefore the binaries for the current version are placed in "<install directory>\bin\1.0.0.1\"

It is recommended that you uninstall the previous version of the library before installing the new one. In the uninstall process you will be asked if you wish to preserve the existing licensing file and serial number. You can safely answer yes to preserve the licensing information and the new installed version will work of the old license without problems. If you do not have a valid license or if your evaluation license is expired you can always get an extension for your license by going at the following web address:

In order to use the new updated version of PlusSuite you must download and reinstall the library. To do so, please download the installer from here:
