Service Pack 2 is now availible for download. You can get it on our new portal by clicking on the trialware link.
This version is the first to officially support Windows 2008 (as a client not as a sever) and Vista SP1.Another new feature is multi-import is SVSadmin.
There are also a lot of stability fixes in this release so it's recommended that you upgrade. Read the release notes.
