Will Shazam 11 be released before universities start the new term?

We are working very hard to be ready by then. Anything in the pipeline that doesn't pass through testing in time will appear in release 11.1 and a road map will be published when version 11 is released.

In the meantime, in preparation for the release of version 11 a final major update for version 10 is due in the next couple of days. This update is Service Pack 2 and will update version 10 (SP1) to version 10.2 (SP2). It has been in the final round of testing for about a week and there are only one or two remaining problems to resolve.

This free update is a rollup of many of the fixes from version 11 as well as a number of new features. In particular it includes the new driver from version 11 which includes a superior threading model making it significantly more stable.
