Toolbook V9
problems abound
It seems that the recently released Toolbook V9, the long awaited 32 bit release, has some severe problems.
I (and a large number of V9 users) are having problems apparently with memory management related crashes in random places. A number of other users claim no problems and much increased speed in many areas (that being said though I wonder if anything they release that uses the Toolbook runtime will be ticking time bombs crashing on random machines and random times).
It seems that SumTotal Systems is a aware of problems and is working on a service release -- though I am not sure what fixes will be included.
My advice to potential upgraders would be:
- don't upgrade unless it is to prepare for future V9 usage
- if you must upgrade don't release anything that distributes a native Toolbook runtime
