ODBC Administrator in Snow Leopard
3/12/10
OS X 10.6 no longer includes the ODBC Administrator. Fortunately, another is available here (and it's free and works fine with C&P).
Snow Leopard Compatibility
9/1/09
Our testing has found no issues with C&P X running in Apple's new Snow Leopard (10.6) operating system.
C&P X 10.2.3 SQL Security Update
8/5/09
Updating to 10.2.3 will strengthen security in SQL databases (MySQL and MS SQL). Once the database is converted, previous versions of Clients & Profits will no longer be able to connect, due to not meeting the new security requirements. Make sure to update all applications before converting the database.
Windows Vista 64-bit
6/4/09
C&P X has been successfully tested on Window Vista 64-bit. The only difference in the installation is the application installs in Program Files (x86) by default.
SQL Server 2008
3/6/09
Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is now supported by Clients & Profits Pro (using Express Edition) and Enterprise Edition.
Note: there is currently an issue with importing databases using OS X, so please use Windows in the meantime (this applies to SQL Server 2005 as well).
MySQL 5.x Compatibility
1/20/09
Our latest supported version of MySQL is 5.0.51b, which can be found here. If a newer version is installed and isn't working, uninstall instructions for MySQL (for OS X) can be found here.
Actual ODBC Driver Compatibility
1/9/09
The latest version of the ODBC drivers by Actual Technologies(2.9) are not compatible with C&P X, when connecting to a database hosted by SQL Server. We are working with Actual to resolve this, but in the meantime, stay in version 2.8b.

Like previous versions, C&P X 10.2 works on a wide variety of workstations and servers:
WORKSTATION: Any new Intel-based Mac (or) late-model PowerPC-based Macs with 1gb RAM and Mac OS X 10.4 or later. C&P X 10.2 also runs on any late-model Windows-based PC. Supports Windows Vista.
