RVCLB 4 Beta Available For Download

Gavin

Today I have released the first beta of RVCare Logbook 4. This is the full desktop app with all the classic functionality, rebuilt for modern systems such as the Apple Silicon Macs (currently M1 - M4), as well as modern Windows releases.

New functionality is complete and waiting in the wings, and will be carefully added in upcoming updates. This includes: modern mapping, location/GPS-aware functionality, weather warnings, plus much more.

In a future version of RVCLB 4, optional cloud syncing will also be offered for a small monthly fee. This will allow synchronization of your RVCLB data across multiple devices.

A new discussion forum has been set up to discuss the app, report bugs, and request new features, or simple to talk about your travels. You can join the forum at www.rvcarelogbook.com/forum If you were a member of the old forum, unfortunately it was too antiquated to bring it up to date, so you will need to re-register. If you have any problems registering, please do let me know, I’ll be happy to help. Note that the website will still refer to RVCare Logbook 3 until the official launch of the new version.

Testing is open NOW for all RVers, particularly those who hold a license for the previous version. If you would like to test this first beta of RVCLB 4 with your own RVCLB 3 data, here are the download links:
Mac - https://www.rvcarelogbook.com/download/RVCare%20Logbook.zip
Windows - https://www.rvcarelogbook.com/download/RVCare%20Logbook%20Windows.zip

Upon release, RVCLB 4 will be priced at $49.99 for new customers, with a 50% off coupon available for any purchaser of RVCLB 3 in the previous two years. Furthermore, anyone who has EVER bought RVCLB, no matter how long ago, can receive a 20% coupon. Details to follow!

If you have any questions, please either join us on the forum or email support@rvcarelogbook.com.

Notes for Windows testers:

Test builds will not be signed so you will see Microsoft’s SmartScreen. Simply click More Info, and then Run Anyway. Release versions will be signed.
On some versions of Windows, the Components toolbar icon remains selected, regardless of which pane is actually being displayed.
On some low resolution PCs, it may be necessary to maximise the window to see the buttons at the bottom.

Awesome, I downloaded the program and uploaded my previous file.

I updated my vehicles to info from the app, on my tow vehicle Passport and trailer Rove xl, I added a trip I just did and entered all info including mileage and dates and for trip there and a trip back, looked good, then I went back to what I thought was the notes section (large box ) at bottom and put in the mileage I had gotten on each trip, that info disappeared so out of curiosity I tapped the show button then the audit button and everything disappeared.

New vehicles added dont carry over to the fuel tab

Gavin

Tmcblane The next beta will fix that. In the meantime, if you restart the app, the new vehicle will appear.

Gavin Ok, that worked but the calculation and entries dont show up although it obviously carries at least the mileage info over on the odometer

Gavin

New beta tomorrow (Friday)!

Will look for it . . some issues from ver 3 still exist in beta . . one that I WANT to use a lot but doesn't work - the notes block (I "assume" that is what the open block at the bottom of the trip screen is for), after entry and save, the note disappears. I know it is in the data table (I'm fairly handy with sqlite) but it disappears and does not show even when you leave the record and come back. Now I could certainly be doing something wrong these past 4 years but it has never worked so I am forced to make a trip log under Notes to make the entries that I want to save. After the new update I will see if some others are now working . . THANKS . . like the revised Vehicle screen . .
