Submitting a Bug Report

When you encounter an issue in Analytica 4.0 beta or ADE 4.0 beta:

• Check the Pending Analytica 4.0 Issues page to see if this is a new problem.
• Attempt to identify a series of steps to reproduce it.
• Report the problem via email to anabeta4@lumina.com.
• Where possible, please include:
  • The steps to reproduce the problem.
  • Your model file.
  • If the problem results in a crash, the auto-save recovery file.
  • For ADE bugs, sample code or steps in AdeTest.exe to reproduce it.

We promise to keep entirely confidential any material you send, including model files. We will use it only for identifying the source of the problem.

Beta 4.0 downloads

The current beta build is 4.0.0.39. The installers are downloadable from:

• Analytica 4.0 beta Installer
• ADE 4.0 beta Installer

Download the file and run it.

If you've never installed a 4.0.0 beta, it will take you through a full install (asking for license code, etc). If you have installed an earlier 4.0.0 beta, it will quickly upgrade your installation to the new build.
