This is the first set of release notes for Powercode v19 which runs on CentOS 7.  These release notes do not represent all of the changes between v18 and v19.  These release notes are for changes from v19.01.09 through v19.02.12.  We are going to start publishing release notes for each version of v19 as we start putting v19 into more and more people’s hands.  If you are currently on v18, many of the bug fixes in v19 releases are backported and you should continue to review the release notes for v18 releases of Powercode.  Publishing release notes regularly is another step in us making v19 available to everyone, we thank you for your patience.

These release notes are for the benefit of those helping us beta test v19.  v19 is still in beta and as such there are a higher volume of bug fixes.  Many items you read about in a v19 release are exclusively affecting v19.
