Hi everyone,

Many of you have been asking me via Facebook when we'll release a new Zet Universe Insider Preview build, and I know that you're anxious for an update. Our team is working hard to get a fresh build out, and we're treating it with high priority. We are pushing hard to get a build out this week, but I thought that since the time between the builds is longer than we expected I would share a few more details with you about what's been going on here behind the scenes.

Hi everyone,

We are releasing a new Zet Universe Insider Preview build today: Build 5735.41667. As always, there are bug fixes and improvements in this build over 5728.33890, but also some new features we are very excited to share with Insiders.

Hi everyone,

On September 8 we updated our sign-in infrastructure. Starting today you will be able to automatically sign-in into Zet Universe using your Microsoft Account.

If you are a new user of Zet Universe, or register on or after September 9, 2015, there is nothing to worry about. If, however, you already used Microsoft Account to sign in to Zet Universe prior to September 9, 2015, please read the message below.

Hi everyone,

We have a new build for PCs releasing today to Zet Universe Insiders - Build 5722.3693. As I mentioned with the blog post on the product's roadmap, we are working hard to enable support for building connectors to the 3rd party data sources like FTP, SharePoint Document Libraries, and more. We've heard you loud and clear; you told us you wanted to use local folders in addition to Dropbox, and so... Right! 

Like the 5708.446, this build is BIG for us, as in it we are bringing you the second data source you can use with Zet Universe to connect to. This data source is all about your local folders, so from here and onwards you'll be able to use your local folders to organize your Zet Universe data, in addition to Dropbox. Obviously, you won't get things like "unread" property that could be automatically set for Dropbox files changed by other users, but, hey, that's the part of the deal, right?

Hi everyone,

I'm happy to announce we're rolling out Build 5714.40076 for you, our Insiders. Like all of the previous preview builds this one comes with bug fixes; unlike others, however, in this build most of the changes are under the hood, as we are preparing the SDK to enable you, our developers, adding custom data sources (like FTP or SharePoint) to Zet Universe. As per the tradition, the build will be available through both the Zet Universe Update System for the PCs already running a previous Zet Universe Insider Preview build, and as the standalone setup application available via the Set Up Your PC web page.

We are continuing to learn and evolve the Zet Universe Insider program as we go, and your feedback is helping us to shape the program as well as Zet Universe itself. Over the past few weeks we heard feedback from you that some wanted explicit support for local folders, while others preferred to have an an option to write own plugins for Zet Universe to access their custom data sources. As we discussed this with some of our top Insiders during the last two weeks, our plans for the product's roadmap have been changed in the sequence of updates to the product's core functionality as well as to the extensibility options. 

When one looks at the modern world, one of the first things she immediately sees is the increasing complexity of everything: 

• organizations that spread across the entire world adapting to the needs of the local economies and cultures; 
• simple jobs being taken by computers and robots rendering remaining jobs increasingly more complex, requiring us to learn entirely new things every day; 
• network economics changing the entire concept of ownership and rent, collaborative work, and productivity. 

All these changes require us to learn and adapt to the new world, and as it was said by the Red Queen in the classic “Alice in the Wonderland” (by Lewis Carrol), to simply stay where you are you should run, and to run you should run twice faster. This is applied to all aspects of our lives, including both personal and professional ones. 

For instance, one has not only to get a formal education, but to continue being on top of the chosen field, and for that, tracking of new articles, works, theories, practices is, indeed, the necessary ingredient of success. Even to keep being relevant in the organization one has to be in know of what’s happening inside the organization, and, even more important, to be in the know of the organization’s business, whatever it would be, and its customers. We are no longer simply acquiring knowledge, friends, customers, instead, we create and connect to networks of knowledge, friends, and customers.

Hi everyone!

Today we have a new build available to you, our fellow Zet Universe Insiders! With this Fifth Flight's build (5701.958) we continue to evolve the features and design for Zet Universe, and you'll see a very important feature you've requested from the beginning of the Insider Program, as well as several subtle changes and improvements, many of which were influenced directly by Zet Universe Insiders. 

That feature mentioned above is the introduction of ability to add multiple items from the Unified List & Search pane onto the zoomable space of your projects. It took us almost a month to bring this, certainly, a really important feature to you, and with each new public build we've been making a new step towards this release. It's now time to share our progress with you, and we can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.

Hi everyone, we are excited to share the news that we're rolling out our next build update to you, our Zet Universe Insiders - Build 5686.35570, also called as the Third Flight! Unlike the previous build, this one brings a major user interface overhaul based on your amazing feedback; it's an excellent example of how YOU have influenced directly on the product development decisions. Thanks so much to all of you, our Insiders!

As a matter of fact, we're rolling out a new build today - Build 5675.21266! This is the first big update build to Zet Universe Insider Preview, and we'll continue to deliver more as part of the Zet Universe Insider Program. Sometimes they'll be more frequent (like myriads of small updates last week), and sometimes there will be longer gaps, but they will always be chock full of changes and improvements, as well as some bugs and things that are not quite done (things, not bugs :)). As we've said, we're sharing stuff early and moving quickly to do so.
