We are listening
– Solve your Floria-issues with our next version

Greetings,
We value our engaged and enthusiastic community, and we are taking your feedback seriously.

For some time now we have listened to your frustration over Floria blocking updates of IrisBG. To eliminate this irritation we have taken initiative and decided to open up for use of Floria with our next version of IrisBG – despite it using code that infringes on our copyright and intellectual property.

Botanical Software have confirmed that they will update their App Manager so it will correspond with the new version we have released. You will need to install their newest App Manager for the sync to work. [Edit: The compatible version Floria ver. 5.1.0 is now released.]

With this we enable you to access our software updates with the latest improvements without losing access to Floria.

Stay tuned for the release of our next version – follow the topic The Latest Version of IrisBG to never miss an update. 

Warm summer regards,
Øyvind Rustan and Mari Rustan

It has always been central for us to take care of your investments in the software as well as your experience and knowledge about collection management. Further development of IrisBG will therefore be extensions to the well-known and solid platform used by us today. Learn more.
