CMAssistant 6 hits the streetsOK, it's not exactly like the release of Microsoft Vista, but CMAssistant 6 is now in use at our first installation and over the coming month or two we'll be pushing upgrades. If you're eager, write Polytrope Support for more info. Goodbooks Develop is now on the loose (and Retreats is ready, too)!Goodbooks is a suite of applications tailored to the needs of religious communities such as Catholic monasteries, convents and retreat houses.
