Hi all -

A beta version of the next major release of Pipeline Pilot will be released shortly. Among other items, this version will include improved support for managing multiple servers and multi-site development, creation and deployment of web services, parallel subprotocols, new debug features, and tools for deployment in web browsers/portals. There will also be two new collections: advanced data modeling (including a new recursive partitioning method) and Plate Data analytics.

We are looking for individuals willing to spend 4-8 hours evaluating this new version and providing us with feedback. We are looking for comments on new functionality and input on the stability and quality of the tools in a production environment. Although we go to great lengths to ensure backward compatibility of the platform, we recommend that you verify that your mission critical protocols and applications function flawlessly in this new environment.

Please send me an email at tvd@accelrys.com if you have the time and interest to be a beta tester.

Thanks a lot -
