The beta program for Activ E-Book Compiler v5 is proceeding, and we’re now on 5.02. Details here.

This version is the best so far, and I think it’s pretty close to being a release candidate. But we need your feedback! If you have found any bugs or problems let me know. If you have not found bugs or problems - also let me know - including what specific features of the compiler you’re using (e.g. passwords, expiry, own table of contents, etc., etc.)! The best way would be to post in the discussion thread, but if you prefer you can email us instead.

midPhase is offering two months of free hosting (and the chance to win a car). To get the free 2 months, all your have to do is enter a coupon code (see below), when ordering. midPhase’s plans include 5,000Mb of storage, CGI, PHP and MySQL features, $100 of Overture credit, and unmetered^* bandwidth. The prices start from US $7.95 per month.

^*If you look at the small print at the bottom of the midPhase’s site, it says "Regarding Mega-PHASE, Pro-PHASE, Windows and Windows Pro customers: Some sites may not qualify for Unmetered Bandwidth. In the event that a website does not qualify, the website will be allocated 65-75 GB of bandwidth depending on the package."

That looks like a very good deal to me, even if you don’t qualify for unmetered bandwidth.

Oh yeh, the coupon code - it’s "twomonthsfree". Go to midPhase and sign-up now if you want it. I understand this offer will be ending fairly soon, mid October - I think.
