Support Debugging Tool Build 13 released

  • Articolo

David Meego - Click for blog homepageAs mentioned in my previous post, we needed a new build of the Support Debugging Tool for Microsoft Dynamics GP to work properly with the released build of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2010.

Releasing another build gave me the opportunity to include some enhancements that were suggested by my beta testers and the attendees at Microsoft Convergence Atlanta 2010.

The new build is now completed and available for download. I think the community will love the changes made, I know I do.

Below is a summary of the changes made for releases 9.00.0013, 10.00.0013 and 11.00.0013, I have divided them into logical sections:
