• CPT 4 put on hold

  Since my last blog entry much happened here. It looks like I was too optimistic than I thought CPT 4 would be ready for beta test at the end of Spring. Actually, something got into my way, something big... This project consumed much more time than I ever Read More... Posted Dienstag, 1. Juli 2008 17:28 by Stefan Renzewitz | 6 Comments

• Can I import my old CPT 3.x repertoires into CPT 4?

  Recently many users asked me whether their work with CPT 3.x will be lost once CPT 4 is released. Don't worry. Of course you can import old repertoires! It's an easy task actually: After you select and load your old repertoire all sub-repertoires will Read More... Posted Montag, 18.

• About to reach 20.000 downloads

  Who would have thought that a CPT version will ever break the 20.000 download landmark. At least not me. Version 3.3 is now pretty close to this magic number. If I consider the German downloads and all not counted downloads (funny to see how even a freeware Read More... Posted Dienstag, 12. Februar 2008 09:17 by Stefan Renzewitz | 11 Comments

• CPT 4: Position Explorer – First Introduction

  It is not yet polished, but I just can’t wait to let you at least see some screenshots about what is one of my absolute favorite new features in CPT 4. I call it the “Position Explorer”.

• Delay. Delay. Delay.

  It has been quite some time since I've started the work on CPT 4. There was supposed to be a first beta around this time. Some might fear the project has been abandoned. This is not the case.

• CPT 4 challenges, "small issues" and sleepless nights

  Someone wrote in the forum about a seemingly small glitch of the training center which under the surface is a pretty complex topic which kept me busy quite some time while I worked on the design of CPT 4. I have to admit this is a rather dry topic if Read More... Posted Mittwoch, 19.

• CPT 4: Previous move & jumping to a position

  One thing which I never liked was the behavior of CPT after you jump to a position for example which is marked as "ToDo". Then the move list was empty and you couldn`t navigate back anymore. To get back to the start position you had to click on the reset Read More... Posted Freitag, 31. August 2007 04:41 by Stefan Renzewitz | 1 Comments Filed under: Jump Position, Previous Move
