Did this. Did get a Message that my security set up was not happy as the downloads were not signed (?). But I ignored that and downloaded anyway. No problems. Thanks George.

Good work Eric. Thank you for your report.
I'd like to hear from other Ideas Genie Pro 6 users on this.
If anyone cant get past obstacles, please let me know.
George in Australia has not managed the "Check for Updates" and downloads yet so I will provide an alternative solution.

I have also installed the updates.  Got the same warnings as Palustris but carried on regardless.
I can't see any obvious changes.  Do you have a quick summary please?
Thanks.

Good work Nigel!

The changes may not be apparent but Ive spent a good part of the winter months working with Ideas Genie Pro 6 myself on my own garden when testing the changes.
Also fixed a few bugs.

I'll do a summary of the most significant changes as time allows - or on rainy days. Currently, the weather is too good not to be in garden.

To all - Play with the software and let me know if you hit any bugs.
