Organizer 2.20 launches at Wakefield with a network solution

And risc/pi, a new website for RISC OS and Raspberry Pi

A new version of Organizer 2, the personal information manager for all
RISC OS systems, is being launched at Wakefield 2013. Among a number
of improvements is a new feature which will allow users who want to
access their data from different systems on a local network to do so
easily and securely.

"Cloning" the Organizer database from one system to another makes sure
that the integrity of the data is maintained - particularly where
there are many automatic actions programmed, whether backups, task
alarms or journalling of information.

Users can make one system hold the master database, only making
updates to that. That database can then be cloned to other systems as
required, so that diary and contact information can be accessed
wherever the user is working. The cloning can also be programmed to
happen automatically or at start-up.

Other significant new features since version 2.10 include:
* Option to start the week on a Sunday for the Diary and Calendar
* Facility to order the Addresses by Organisation/Contact name
* Now possible to use 16-million colours instead of just 16
* Improved operation of Export scripts
* Option to have a single-page display to save screen space
* Works with all current machines and RISC OS 3.50 or later, including
Raspberry Pi.

Among the more than 130 changes, there are also a host of minor
enhancements, such an improved Calendar layout, the ability to change
fonts in Choices, and more flexible units for Alarm setting (hrs.mins
etc). In addition, there are many bug fixes, particularly to resolve
issues with the growing number of RISC OS platforms. And of course,
those who upgrade to Organizer 2.20 will receive free updates and
continuing support.

There will be no price increase with this version of Organizer, but in
order to keep pricing simple and low, upgrades will only be available
to users of Organizer 2.1x. Full price will continue to be �30 and the
upgrade price will remain �20.

Show prices, available at the show and online for the day, will be:
Full price �25
Upgrade �17

ORGANIZER ON A STICK: Version 2.20 will also be available on memory
stick, loaded on to the RPCEmu emulator for operation on Windows PCs.
Show prices will be full price, �30 (normally �35); and upgrade, �20
(normally �25). This includes the zip file for loading on to RISC OS
systems. (Existing Organizer On A Stick users will be able to upgrade
to version 2.20 for �10).

Organizer 2 is fully featured personal information manager for all
RISC OS systems. It features Diary, Address book, Calendar,
Anniversaries and ToDo sections, Notes and journalling facilities. It
is developed by Martin Avison for North One Communications Ltd.

OUR NEW WEBSITE: risc/pi, aims to fill the gap left by platform
websites such as Drobe, which were a focal point for the RISC OS
community. It aims to keep users abreast with all developments in the
RISC OS and Raspberry Pi worlds, and help direct new users coming from
Raspberry Pi to all that RISC OS has to offer.
