New downloads available (any way to know what exactly)?
Dear all,
I think in Logos 7 I was able to see what is included in the downloads. In Logos 8, I do not know where to look. Right now I see a notification that a new download is available (231 MB). Want to know what exactly. Is there a way to check and see what was updated?
Also, is there a way to check what is going to be in Logos 8.1 and etc?
THANKS!

Logos Wiki has => Logos 8 Release Notes (maintained by Faithlife) and => Logos Release History (user maintained)

Logos 7 Home Page included dataset updates in Notification. Changes from Logos 7 to Logos 8 mentions plans to bring back Notifications in a future 8.# release. Logos 8 Library has faceted filter to show "Last Updated" or "Added" (at bottom of facet list)
Keep Smiling [:)]
Strange that Logos 8.1 is not on the list of updates. I just checked that I have 8.1, but it is not visible in this list.
The library is for BOOKS. "Last Updated" only assists with knowing what books were updated. If you want to know about the SOFTWARE, you will need to visit the forums and look for the "release notes" thread, as I referenced above.

Could try calling into customer service to ask for a list of items updated to be mailed out to you.. I would suspect if they got hundreds of us doing that the would find away to put an indicator back ASAP. [6]

It is my understanding that FL is working on it... however, 1) customer service couldn't tell you what was updated on YOUR system and 2) It isn't difficult to look in the library. Much easier than calling or emailing customer service. [:P]

JT I didn't mean to imply we SHOULD (in fact the little devil was meant to indicate it was not a wise or Christian thing to do).... And yes I am fairly sure they wouldn't have the info. And while I hope they are working on it, if their technical support got tied up with it I was suggesting they might realize how annoying they have made it compared to how they use to do it.... The new system has benefit in that I have Xed the list accidentally before getting it looked at, but it also has put a lot more effort into what use to be a simple single click to see.

I am wondering, why is this a problem? Typically of software companies tell you in advance what is the update about. Think about how you update apps on your phone or computer. You always know that you have an update (version of the app) and if has a, b, c, d fixes, features and etc.
I was thinking it can be the same way, no?
Before the fact? No.
You can always filter and sort your library under "last updated."
Look in the Logos 8 Forum for the release notes. For example, see this thread: https://community.logos.com/forums/t/176584.aspx
