Posted in Latest News, Development, Releases by Victoria (IdeaMason) on April 9th, 2007

Version 3.1.5 was released April 9th, 2007.

Version 3.1.5 provides bibliography style support for two variants of the Harvard bibliography style in common use in the United Kingdom and Australia. It also includes a few usability enhancements. Read below for more details.

A Note about Harvard Style
The name “Harvard System” is sometimes used to describe any author-date referencing system. IdeaMason already supports two styles which are technically Harvard System styles, APA and Chicago Author-Date. Harvard Style has a number of variations, but in Version 3.1.5 we have added two of the most commonly used (and requested) variants of the Harvard style, the Australian style based on Australian General Printing Service (AGPS, 6th Edition), as well as the United Kingdom style based on BS-5605 and BS-1629 (variation for Bournmouth University).

How to upgrade:
If you already upgraded to Version 3.0 or Version 3.1 you just need to download Version 3.1.5 from the Free Trial downloads page and install it. You DO NOT NEED a new license key and will NOT need to reactivate.

NOTE #1: Be sure to uninstall Version 2.2 before installing Version 3.1.5. If you try to install Version 3.1.5 and get the following message: “Exception occurred while initializing the installation: System.BadImageFormatException: The format of the file ‘IMinstallerCustom.dll is invalid.” - this is an indication that you still have Version 2.2 installed on your system.
