Builder 1.07 Update Note: What If Builder Won’t Start After the Update?

In the days after the 1.07 release, we’ve received some sporadic reports of Lutheran Service Builder installations not functioning properly after upgrading with the new Installer. If this should happen to you, it’s important to note that it’s not difficult to fix and can usually be easily remedied with some very simple steps without the [...]

A Preview of 1.7’s Improved Loading Time

As previously mentioned in this space, the primary improvement planned for the 1.7 update is a marked improvement to Lutheran Service Builder’s loading time. To illustrate what we’ve working on over the past six months or so, I’ve created a small video to showcase the dramatic increase we are seeing in alpha-testing, and we hope [...]

Mailbag, Episode Four: Vineyards, MIDIs, and Critical Files

Final Testing and How It Really Isn’t

First of all, I would like to send out a notice that I am now actively looking for congregations who are using Builder to assist me in beta testing some updates. We’ve had enough trouble right now getting these updates off the ground – both data and application – and I would sincerely appreciate some [...]

Quick Update on 1.03 and Later

Just a quick note to let those of you who have been following the track of Lutheran Service Builder what’s going on, and why things may not have been as expected over the past week or so.

Our very first training workshops are coming up next week in Ft. Wayne. [...]

Bugs, Testing, and Delays of Patches

Lutheran Service Builder and delayed releases have, somewhat unfortunately, become a bit joined at the hip. I know that our users notice this, and I’ve also noticed it through both being the person responsible for scheduling releases and delays to those releases, and the person who hears it from users when those delays cause frustration [...]
