<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello there ! :-)</p> <p>My name is GrosBedo (alias GBO), the new developper for Panic Button ;-)</p> <p>This release is the first of many I will produce. It fixes all the bugs users submitted, plus many others I've encountered, so now you shouldn't see any flaw in this software (I'm a pro at debunking exploits ;p). I've added many features and little details that will make this software much more useable and comfortable, like the new flashy icon yelling at you to click it !</p> <p>If you are a user of an older version, please update as soon as possible as it will fix many bugs (particularly if you are a foreign user, all the language files and translation bugs have been corrected). Translators are welcome to update the translation files using poEdit or another gettext editor :-)</p> <p>Please feedback and tell us the bugs you encounter or the features you want to see. They will be added after the next release, because I'm freezing the sourcecode to port the software to... Linux and MacOS ! I'm not yet very experienced in porting applications, but I guess it should go well with this one :-)</p> <p>Keep in touch, this project is far from dead ;-)</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Gerard Jensen has translated version 2.3 into German. This is a preliminary release, and Gerard would like to hear comments on changes that he has made. Any comments received will help shape development of the localisation features that are planned for inclusion in version 2.4</p> <p>Many thanks to Gerard for his work on this. Please, if you’re German, or understand German, download it and give Gerard some feedback.

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Panic Button's web site is now a blog. Since there wasn't much on the web site, I decided it made more sense to turn it into a blog. The idea is that I can keep users informed of what is going on, what I'm working on, etc. And, of course, users can leave comments to let me know what they think.</p> <p><a href="http://www.panicbutton.org.uk" rel="nofollow">http://www.panicbutton.org.uk</a></p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>A bug in the setup executable for version 2.0 (1282106) has now been fixed.</p> <p>The bug meant that the startup shortcut was not created properly, so that Panic Button did not start when a user logged on. This bug has now been fixed, and the setup.exe file has been replaced with a working copy.</p></div>
