IMPORTANT!!! You must exit the BBO program COMPLETELY before you begin the update process!

You can upgrade your BBO to the latest version:

http://www.bridgebas.../bbo_update.exe

or download everything (including the latest files) from scratch:

http://www.bridgebas...2/bbo_setup.exe

I suggest you use the first method, but however you do this, please make sure that you exit the BBO program COMPLETELY before you start the download.

Version 3.9.2 is mostly about performance. In particular, we think we have greatly improved the log in experience. Here are some differences:

1) The main BBO window appears as soon as the connection to our server is made
2) The wait for the BBO window to become usable has been greatly reduced (we think by about 50%, but we are not certain)
3) When a lot of people are booted at once, the process of logging in again will be less painful (we hope - this was hard to test)

Dialup users in particular should see big improvements when it comes to logging in with version 3.9.2.

The other big change in 3.9.2 is that it is now possible for small Internet Explorer windows to reside in various places in the BBO program. You will see one example of this when you log in with the new version: the Lobby News is an .html file. You will see additional examples in the upcoming weeks.

The default colors have changed in 3.9.2 due to the poorly chosen color for the "Closed Room Result" (during vugraph) in 3.9.0. Various other small cosmetic changes have been made and various bugs have been fixed.

Please let us know if you find any problems in 3.9.2. We would also appreciate getting some feedback about just how much faster logging is for you in the new version.

You can either post here or send your comments to me by e-mail: fred@bridgebase.com

Thanks in advance for those of you willing to help us test the new version. We hope to get lots of testers this time because we think that 3.9.2 will significantly improve the BBO experience for a lot of our members.
