FlashPass 0.15 RC5 - Now released.

This is the newest release of FlashPass, it incorporates proven XML generation, fixed some minor issues in our race to a final release, and we think this is our last release before we do 1.0 if no bugs or problems are found. We have also logged several border crossings using this version and we have had the thumbs up from the CBP people. We think this version is our gold master version, but we won’t mind if you find something that needs to be fixed.

KNOWN ISSUES

• WINDOWS: There is an issue with some installations under Windows Vista and some XP installations.
  • The issue happens when you install the software under a certain user profile, and then attempt to run it under another user, it seems the software doesn’t like some permission issues and crashes ugly on startup. 
  • The workaround offcourse is to run it under the same user that installed it, but we are looking into fixing this issue for 1.0
