Preview of vesion 5.12

Hi all,

I've almost finished Expert Lotto version 5.12. You can download a preview of this new release here: ZIP, Windows installer, Linux installer, Mac OSX installer.
Feature-wise this release is on par with the current version 5.11, all the changes I did were under the hood in the platform libraries to make the application compatible with the latest Java runtime releases (the current version doesn't run with Java runtime newer than 1.8 ).
I would be very grateful if you could try it out and report any issues or problems you encounter - you can either comment here or email me directly. The installer may not work as most of you have version 5.11 already installed and the installer should detect that and refuse to install. But you can still download the ZIP distribution, unpack it and then run it from its 'bin' sub-folder. Version 5.12 should pick up all your settings and preferences (including license keys) you currently have in your version 5.11.

Hi Stan. I did a first quick test of version 5.12. Of course, as time goes on, the test will become more detailed. I don't know if it's just my idea, but I think this version seems faster than the previous one. I'm using windows 11. I run version 5.12 from 'bin' sub-folder. All the filters open correctly, but I have not yet verified the results, in order to find out if the calculations are done correctly.
Then tried to use the system folders and files from the previous version. I mean I loaded the lottery and tried to load the systems I made using the previous version. I found out that I cannot load the systems I had built with the previous version.png1.These few from the first test !Cheers!

Hi Stan, Glad to see that you are still working on this great software. I was hoping to slip in a small request while you are under the hood working with EL. A while back you added an export feature for me to Include or exclude row headers. Is it possible to also add the same feature for the column headers. I do quite a bit of exporting to other programs and frequently have to strip the headers off. This would really make life easier. Thanks in advance.

If the software seems faster then it must be because you've switched to a newer Java runtime because the application functions are more or less the same.
If you can't open some previously saved assets then you may need to reinstall some addtional plugins. Version 5.12 has a different folder where the extra plugins are stored.
