GC 10 Changes?

Post by gold7181 »

I may have missed it if you sent it out earlier, but I can't find it if so...It would be useful to have a list of the New Features and what's changed from GC 9  so we can test the new stuff out....Steve Gold

All I can say is amazing.  I don't know which is more impressive between your willingness to always be there for us or that GC is about to turn 10.  I'm only an occasional user but I remember the way back versions which I used just to convert graphics, lol.  I don't know where the ideas for all the "new" stuff came from but keep on going please.  Again, well done and thanks.
