KnowboForm Site Submitter v1.6.5 beta Released!

KnowboForm v1.6.5 beta has been released on 21 February '08. This version focuses on export and import of user's profile, site and submission data and passwords. This version has introduced the concept of project which is a group of submission profiles for a specific submission scope. Project is a time saver option for the submitter if many web sites are required to be submitted one after another to the same directory or site. Also using this version you will be able to quickly and easily add a new site to the KnowboForm database.

This version has the ability to capture the technical info about a particular form, which can't be fully populated by the default auto-fill logic. This will enable to auto-fill such unique form after saving these technical info.

Look and feel of the application has been enhanced. Password manager is made accessible from the tool bar. Some bugs of the earlier versions have been fixed up. Release notes of the earlier versions has been incorporated to the Readme.txt file so that interested users can at a glance see the changes from version to version.

You can find more information on this and further development news in the blog. Version 1.6.5 beta is a must download for the KnowboForm beta users who are still using the earlier versions.
