[brodgar]New Brodgar version

[Highland Statistics Ltd.]

Dear Brodgar user,

Version 2.7 is now available for downloading. It contains a spreadsheet and 
data editor and a few small bug fixes. Just download and over-install it 
from www.brodgar.com. It should recognize your license codes automatically.

The next version will contain power analysis as described in Zar (1999). It 
has been tested during an MSc course with 60 students and it worked ok. 
Once help files are ready, we will make it available in version 2.8 (early 
November).

The other good news is that Springer-Verlag has accepted our course 
material for a 700 page book publication. This book is not about Brodgar 
but all methods available in Brodgar will be explained. It has 15 case 
study chapters. The book will be called: "The Analysis of Ecological Data" 
by Zuur, AF, Ieno, EN and Smith, GM. We still need data for exercises and 
illustration of methodology. Your help would be welcome. Unfortunately, 
there is no co-authorship involved..but we will acknowledge the source.

The last news is that we have changed the pricing structure of Brodgar. The 
reason for this is that a large number of universities and institutes have 
recently ordered Brodgar and asked for network licenses and use-at-home 
licenses for students. These type of licenses are now available. If you 
bought a student, personal or departmental license during the last two 
years, we will honor the initial arrangements of free updates and bug fixes 
for life. However, free access to new modules is only for 1 year. Please 
feel free to ask any questions (e.g on upgrading your current departmental 
license to a use-at-home license for staff and students).

Kind regards,

Alain Zuur
