FieldWorks 8.3.3 Beta 3 (Webonary fix)

[Beth-docs Bryson]

Recently there were changes that affected the Webonary server that required changes in FieldWorks in order for the "Upload to Webonary" function to work.  We apologize that anyone working with FieldWorks 8.3 has not been able to upload to Webonary in recent days.

We have now modified FieldWorks to account for these changes on Windows.  The fix for Linux is more involved, and we have not finished that fix yet.  Thus, it is still not possible to upload to Webonary from Linux.  We will fix that as soon as we can.  

Today we have released FieldWorks 8.3.3 Beta 3.  There were also several other fixes to crashes and a few other issues.  We encourage anyone using any version of FieldWorks 8.3.x to upgrade.

There is no model change between FW 8.3.2 and 8.3.3.  However, do keep in mind that any project opened in FW 8.3.3 will no longer be able to open in FW 8.3.1 or any earlier version.

FieldWorks 8.3.3 Beta 3 is now ready for download.
