Master Tour build 1671 is available, as always simply restart Master Tour and you’ll be prompted to upgrade.

 This version includes improvements to several printed reports including the travel report and tour book daily page.  The book now has an option to remove the venue type/capacity block and utilize the space for the schedule.  This is something that a lot of people have asked about in order to fit more schedule items onto the tour book.  There is an option to remove the “notes” page on template tour books as well, which has been requested by several groups.

In addition to the desktop client, our Blackberry application has gotten a minor update that fixes issues with dates being cut 

off.  To install it, simply open the browser on your device to m.eventric.com and click the installation link.

As a final note, Adobe has today released AIR 2, the framework used to build the user interface (UI) of Master Tour.  We’ve been testing with the beta versions of AIR 2, however Adobe released the final version without any advance notice to developers and so we have not had a chance to fully test it.  So far there does not seem to be any problems.  AIR 2 is a very exciting release because Adobe has added some really incredible features that we can use to make Master Tour finally interact more fully with other applications on your desktop.  We’ll be taking advantage of these features as much as possible.

Thank you for your continued feedback!
