Updates and bug fixes
Welcome to our latest updates in regard of BookWise which we have renamed BookWise Infobase Database to reflect that this version is different and dare I say it, somewhat more precious than all the previous versions.  We really were not expecting to come to this milestone of good code, however as some were claiming my role as web content manager, it was fortunate that I took onboard certain management philosophies.  It's true that a software engineer might not be particularly good at management and vice versa.  So, with the full overview of the software product, we came to realise that there was a lot of scope for improvement, and that's just what we did.  There is a full list of bug fixes and updates below.  The BookWise Infobase Database App is aimed at private book collectors.  And we do recommend a spell of data entry to kick off your BookWise Infobase Installation.  All features are unlocked once you reach fifty records.

This software installation can be performed on Windows 10 and any subsequent Windows version.  If you are using Windows 10 or Windows 11 this app should run fine with 64 bit specification and realtime Ram CPU resources of 2Ghz and above / 50 mb hard disk space / mouse optional.

This screen shot shows typical book title browsing which becomes enabled after entering at least twenty records.  As you can see, they are displayed twenty at a time and you can navigate through them.  You can imagine how many records there could be just to generate this page of matching results using the two initial letters, 'th'. Of course there is the potential for any number of records in your own database.
