2011.22 Release Notes

What's New:

  • It is now possible to edit more of your book's details, without having to reapprove your book for distribution
  • Retired "Lulu Messaging" - There’s a new way to Connect with your favorite Lulus! Make new friends and send them messages all in Connect, we replaced Lulu messaging with the improved messaging in our Connect pages. Connect has all the features of our current messaging, plus a friend list you can send messages from much like a contact list. What it doesn’t have however, is all your old messages from Lulu messaging. If there is anything important in your messages, you might want to save it now.
  • If a book is rejected for Distribution, an alert message is displayed.

Bug Fixes:

  • Translation issues:
    - Revise button wasn't translating
    - Conversion message when creating Print-ready file wasn't translated
    - Fields in Description step weren't translating
  • Book Cost Calculator and Book Spine Calculator weren't working in My Lulu. 
  • Spine text on some covers were not centered properly.

I am sure many will be happy that they do not have to reapprove their book for distribution.

Thank you.

2011.22 Release Notes

 

What's New:

  • It is now possible to edit more of your book's details, without having to reapprove your book for distribution
  • Retired "Lulu Messaging" -
  • Nice! It was a bind and expensive to keep ordering proofs (which can take weeks to come) and then Approving when you know all you have done is remove a comma or something!
  • There’s a new way to Connect with your favorite Lulus! Make new friends and send them messages all in Connect, we replaced Lulu messaging with the improved messaging in our Connect pages. Connect has all the features of our current messaging, plus a friend list you can send messages from much like a contact list. What it doesn’t have however, is all your old messages from Lulu messaging. If there is anything important in your messages, you might want to save it now.
  • If a book is rejected for Distribution, an alert message is displayed.

What I would really like to see, and it was promised, that when you click a person's name on their postings it goes to their Storefront (or Spotlight or whatever) not to their profile! This is not Facebook ...

Bug Fixes:

  • Translation issues:
    - Revise button wasn't translating
    - Conversion message when creating Print-ready file wasn't translated
    - Fields in Description step weren't translating
  • Book Cost Calculator and Book Spine Calculator weren't working in My Lulu. 
  • Spine text on some covers were not centered properly.

These are problems I have not come across, so are you sure they did not only happen in some browsers and not others? If so, will the browsers that did not have those problems now HAVE them?  :smileysad:

Is there no way you can make the Wizards into downloadable progs? So we can create books as WYSIWYG and then have it convert them and upload them as a PDF? Some other online publishing company does that but the name slips my mind.

Rif.: 2011.22 Release Notes

Don't know if the issue is related to the software update (I guess so) but from yesterday evening I'm unable to review my project (ID: 10681775): after pressing the "review" button, I got redirected to the publishing wizard, but all i get is a blank page.

I opened a ticket: could you fix this ASAP?

Thanks,

Andrea
