Switch 07 maintenance update 2 is now available , for Gradual Software's Switch publishing software range.

The company said that whilst maintenance updates are typically small, update 2 to Switch 07 adds 30 additional features to the product line, whilst providing the first version of Switchclient 07 and the availability of a German language pack the pack can be downloaded now from Gradual Software's website

Update 2 is said to provide small features that add increased productivity and ease of use, such as updates to the designer, fine tuning to improve support of hotfolder applications and more comprehensive EXIF support for images.

The update also fixes a number of user reported problems in different areas, added Gradual Software.

Switch 07, update 2 now also supports languages other than English.

Through the use of separate language packs, Switch and Switchclient can be displayed in the user's preferred language.

With update 2, Switchclient 07 is also released and offers an upgrade to the previous version, Switchclient 06, added the company.

Performance improvements throughout Switchclient are claimed to have made it a more responsive product, whilst support for secure connections (using the https protocol) are said to make it more secure when needed.

The client was brought to the same level as Switch 07, through the implementation of filtered log messages, for example and it has also received new features.

Gradual Software added that users can now edit jobs waiting in a checkpoint on their local systems, for example and then re-submit those changed jobs to the Powerswitch server.

Peter Camps, chairman chief executive officer of Gradual Software, said: "We release a maintenance update for Switch about every two months.

Our customers appreciate that we respond quickly to any problems that they discover in production." He added that regular maintenance updates also allow Gradual Software to release smaller features without having to wait for the next major update.

Martin Werder, the general manager of Impressed, the distributor for Gradual Software in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, emphasized the importance of support for the German language.

He explained: "A localised German version has been one of the major requests from our customers.

We are very pleased that update 2 adds support for German to an already great product.

It clearly shows Gradual's commitment to provide easy to use systems and will help to deploy Switch's automation features to an even broader market.".
