!IMPORTANT NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS!
-- [INTRODUCTION] --
Hey guys,
It's been a while since I've shared any news on the version 2.0 development.
All I can say is that it has been going great! After a one-week rest for Easter, I am back working on it full time. I am implementing some features that you fine folks here wouldn't even dream of
An interesting comparison is that uberBlogCreator 1.5 series settings dialog has about 300 lines of code. uberBlogCreator 2.0 series settings dialog has nearly 2000 lines of code. While an LOC increase is not necessarily a good thing, I just wanted to illustrate how many new features there will be in uberBlogCreator 2.0
-- [THE LAUNCH] --
Additionally, there are several things that happened behind the scenes with uBC 2.0 planned launch. The new website will be operational soon (but will not be publicly available until the launch date). I have also decided on the pricing structure that will actually make you and I both happy,
especially you, the BHW memebers, who will receive a special discount. I should add that those of you who have purchased the lifetime license (and only 4 of you did not)
will get this update free of charge. Moreover, uberBlogCreator 2 will not be launched "silently" as it was the case with the previous version(s). It will be different this time
Finally, probably the most important news of all!
The launch date is set: it is June 5th, 2012.
Beta testing applications will be accepted from
May 10th, 2012. Only those who have already purchased the lifetime license of uberBlogCreator (that is, only those eligible for the upgrade) will be able to apply.
I have aimed for the end of May launch date and have mentioned that in the earlier posts, but this will allow me some extra time for additional testing and implementing the new last-minute features that I thought of.

[CURRENT EVENTS] --
What is happening with uberBlogCreator 1.x series?
I have just pushed the 1.5.6 update to the server. You can download it at the usual download page. This issue addresses some bugs but I have not done anything about the article upload not working.
This is the last update of the 1.x series. The 1.x series
will no longer be supported.
Can I still purchase the lifetime license and receive a free update to Version 2 when it arrives?
Yes, but not for very much longer. The sales of uberBlogCreator 1.x series will
closed as of
May 1st, 2012. After that you will be able to pre-order uberBlogCreator 2 at a special even-more discounted price. To purchase the lifetime license, simply go to the

[PRESENT DEVELOPMENT] --
Like I mentioned above, the current development is going great. The only work left for me to be done is the actual registration/upload modules. While this may make you go "WTF?", this is actually the easiest part, as I'm already familiar with most of the platforms.
I have completed the user interface that uberBlogCreator 2 will ship with.
Here are the screenshots:
