Lansweeper 4.0

[Mecanova]

Could you please post all the new features that are implemented in to the new version of Lansweeper?
When the new version is coming? Lot of posts here on the forums are just LS admin saying that in 4.0 will be this and that and that... Would be a lot nicer if we got a full changelog.

I think a lot of us here would like to now for what exactly are we paying for, there hasn't been too many updates regarding to new version and so on... The LS Twitter account doesn't tell anything interesting, at least I'm not really interested if LS servers have been moved because it doesn't really concern me.

How do I join the beta of version 4? 😄

Is it possible in 4.0 to alter the interface for Allowed software so that when you add it to approved list that it then removes it from Software found in your network side? I have around 20,500 pieces of software found and the fact that the list on the left doesn't get smaller as I sort through it causes a lot of confusion for me when researching software and adding it to the approved list.

I second this, after you choose anything form the left menu and add it to the right it should not show in th left column anymore.

Very impressive indeed, this is what I have been looking for a long time. Thank you. Any possibilities to have screenshots etc. of the new interface? And as everybody else, I'm also interested what's the schedule for 4.0? When will we have a beta version on our hands?

And you didn't answer my question.. I'm pretty sure you already have a list of (confirmed) features and we'd really like to know what's on it. And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one on the forums who's wondering this. I really think it's not too much to ask for some kind of info...
