A new GTViewer version 20 Beta is Available

 

A new GTViewer version 20 BETA is Available. Version 20.0.0.4 has several fixes and changes since the last Beta, plus a lot of new documentation (including GTVConfig.doc).

Most of the changes were with the Custom Feature Names for the Right-Mouse menu, Feature Picklists, and Attribute Info Dialog Titles. 

If you have a valid GTViewer license, you can get the Beta.   I encourage everyone to try it so we can find any issues now and get this new version released.
