Friday round up.

Welcome again to the round up of the latest information live from 3SL.

The December newsletter is now available here.

We are excited that we shall shortly be offering the new functionality provided by NTR Support to be able to offer you live, 1-to-1 interactive support, via our website: www.threesl.com. This support will come on-line live in early January 2010.

Our use of Webex will cease from that date also, and we are going to be using NTR Meeting as our collaborative meeting environment.

We are delighted to be able to announce that Cradle is being adopted for use by the South Korean Government.

Our development team are working very very hard to ensure that Cradle 6.2 will be released end of January/early February. Development work is progressing well towards that end.

If there is anything that you, dear reader, would like to see on these pages, or in the newsletter or on our website, then please get in touch.

You can contact me via the contact us page on our website here: http://www.threesl.com/pages/contact/index.php Then click on global head office and fill in the form.

On a much more personal note, I am proud and delighted to announce that I achieved my dan grade in karate yesterday evening. I now hold a black belt in Wado Ryu Karate.

I am now going on holiday for 2 weeks. Let me take this opportunity to wish everyone a very happy, joyous and prosperous holiday season.

Friday round up

Welcome to the Friday round up.

After a hectic few weeks where we have been meeting pressured deadlines to meet new point releases we are fully into development on the next 6.2 release. There are many large improvements expected so watch out for them.

New updates for the website are in development with animated "how-to" guides being produced to be introduced onto the site every month. If there is anything that you would like to see in one of these guides, get in touch and ask for it. We are here to help you get the best possible use out of Cradle.

We are training our support team to use the soon to be added support feature on the website for customers to gain instant interactive support through the site. We are excited to be able to add this additional form of help for our customers. Look out for this early in the new year!

On a more personal note, everyone at 3SL is very happy to congratulate Liz Priestley on obtaining her British Citizenship. She is now free to change sides in the "soccer vs football" debates and will be a welcome addition to the British side. On gaining her citizenship she said,

"It is kinda spiff, it was working here that let me do it, and encouraged me to do it. So thank you to the 3SL family, and shows that we are a caring company n stuffs. I get to vote and eat mince pies, drink tea and complain about the weather without feeling guilty..."

... indeed.

Cradle-6.2 and Cradle Gateway Beta Testers

We are delighted at the number of people who have already registered their interest to receive a Beta copy of Cradle-6.2 and the Cradle Gateway when they are released in a few weeks' time.

The Cradle Gateway will be a new Cradle module that provides a traceability management interface between information in your Cradle database and information in a wide variety of external documents and tools.

If you are interested, either read our November 2009 newsletter and use the mail link in it, or simply send an e-mail to salesdetails@threesl.com.

Thank you!

The major improvements in the Cradle-6.1 release are:

1. Considerable improvements to the display of changes in the Item Differences, Item Changes and Item History dialogs, which uses colouring to show text that has been added, changed and deleted


2. New suite of project database integrity checks that detect a large number of errors that may have arisen in the database through imports of invalid data


3. Improvements to the display of Cradle systems and the status of Cradle Database Servers (CDSs) in the Project Manager
