Hi Guy,

Happy holidays! The RAW Developer 1.7.2 release is now available. Between this and the prior RAW Developer 1.7.1 update support for some 20+ new camera models has now been added along with various other improvements. This release is a free update for all currently registered users. To update simply download and install the new demo version. Your existing registration information should automatically be recognized. Old versions of RAW Developer can then be removed from your system if desired.
