Release 14.11 Electronic Version
Both the demo download and the electronic version of MINITAB 14 English that are available through the Minitab Store have been updated with this maintenance release. Please be aware: the MINITAB 14.11 demo will not run on Windows ME in any language due to an issue with the Vbox wrapper.
A free maintenance update is available to customers who have already purchased MINITAB Release 14.1. The update can be downloaded from our website at: http://www.minitab.com/support/maintenance/default.aspx Please note: the 14.11 maintenance update will not work with any versions of the demo.
Release 14.11 Physical Product
We estimate the physical version of MINITAB 14.11 will be available around March 4, 2004.
Inventory
Here at Minitab Inc., we will continue to use our MINITAB 14.1 stock at our discretion, with the intent of depleting existing inventory. The International team will contact each of you in the near future to discuss your current inventory levels and the most appropriate plan for restocking with Rel 14.11. In the interim, you should instruct customers purchasing existing inventory to download the 14.11 slipstream maintenance update at the URL listed above.
ReadMe File
For more information on the improvements made in Release 14.11, a ReadMe file is available on our website and has been included with the maintenance update. It contains information not only about what is fixed in the release, but also detailed workarounds for known issues that your customers will find valuable.
e-academy
An e-academy version of Release 14.11 should be available in approximately three weeks.
Note to Our Asian Partners
As you may be aware, MINITAB 14.1 had several problems running on Asian versions of Windows 98, ME, and NT. We are happy to report that most of these problems are corrected in MINITAB 14.11; however, there still may be instances when Asian characters do not display properly. If you or your customers encounter any problems, please let us know as soon as possible. An efficient way to do this is by using our product feedback form at: http://www.minitab.com/contacts/Feedback.aspx
