This Saturday saw the successful release of the latest version of Three Rings, Milestone Iridium. Thanks for bearing with us over this longer-than-average release cycle while we implemented some of our most challenging – and valuable – features so far!
Everyone here at Three Rings HQ would like to offer our sincerest thanks to everyone on the testing team; the people who volunteered to explore the new system ahead of everyone else and give us their thoughts on the new features. Thanks to their efforts – whether they found a range of problems, or just wrote to say they’d looked around and found everything worked the way it should do – every user of Three Rings can be assured of a smoother experience, and improved features, confident in the knowledge that they aren’t walking into uncharted territory. It makes a massive difference to see how our testers would use the system ‘in the wild,’ and Three Rings wouldn’t be the excellent system it is today without their time and dedication.
We’d also like to thank everyone who was able to join us in our IRC chatroom for the online launch party: it was wonderful to see members of different branches and organisations chatting and networking with one another, on topics ranging from training exercises, though listening styles to the marketing reasons behind 3D cinema! Even if you only looked in for a couple of minutes, it was great for us to get a chance to chat with clients, and to see how many people stayed up to ‘see in the new Three Rings’!

We’re done showing off new features until the next version, Milestone Jethrik, goes into beta testing (although we’ve not started feature planning yet, so if you’ve got a suggestion for a feature you’d like to see, please get in touch!), but that doesn’t mean we’re done with updates to the blog: we’re hoping to make an exciting announcement towards the end of the week, so be sure to watch this space!
