Difference between v2.6.2 and v3.1.12

Bill Owens

I have been looking for discussion between these two versions and I have not found a comparison listed. Apologies if this question has been asked and answered.

Other than the ability to run a remote session and MultiFlex, is there a reason one would want to go to v3.1.12 instead of 2.6.2?

Thank you for your input.

Hi Bill,

Here are links to the release notes for these two releases.

Thank you Len. I am aware of the release notes, so I what I was hoping for was a more of a "big picture" comparison. The release notes point out the incremental changes only, so I guess absent a feature comparison, I will need to go back to the initial documentation. I have been running 3.1.12 myself, but soon will be doing an update on a friends 6500 who has no intention of ever doing a remote session. As long as he is having to pony up the bucks for a new version from what he presently runs, he might as well go for the 3.1.12 in my opinion, regardless of his plan on not using the remote.

My 6600M is licensed for 3.1.12, I have downgraded to 2.6.2 because of the way profiles are handled in 3.1.12. I didn't need the Multiflex as I don't contest. I am very happy with 2.6.2, the remote capability remains the same, just you can't have a remote and a local session on at the same time.

Good to know Steve. Thanks for your information. That may be the way to go. My friend is not a contester either so Multiflex would add little or no value.

Multi flex also allows 2 local sessions at the same time. So I sometimes take the iPad to the shop to listen to the net. My WiFi doesn’t cover well out there, so I go to the pc to talk.

Thanks John.
