Software Update: The Bat! 6.8

Ritlabs has version 6.8 of its email program The Bat! released. The program supports several pop3 and imap4 accounts, and has a Bayesian spam filter and extensive search and filtering capabilities.

Since version 6.7 there is both a 32bit and 64bit version, but there are no longer separate Home and Pro downloads. This release provides more information when a registration key is not valid and fixes several issues. The complete changelog looks like this:

Improvements

• Now The Bat! gives details when something is wrong with the registration key, ie it gives different messages when the key is revoked, copied incorrectly, is valid for newer or previous versions, etc.

Fixes

• In the 64-bit version of The Bat!, the “Edit personal certificates” dialog in the account properties didn’t open

• The Bat! could sometimes give the “No random handler defined” error at startup
