SiSoftware have released the latest update for Sandra 2012 which includes optimizations for Bulldozer, Sandy Bridge-E and Ivy Bridge.

The latest SP1 update to SiSoft Sandra 2012 include fixes to Cryptography and memory bandwidth benches for latest CPUs such as AMD's Bulldozer and Intel's Sandy Bridge-E as well as being ready for future generation products like AMD's Piledriver cores and Intels Ivy Bridge. There are new features such as displaying IPC (Instructions per clock) in all benchmarks which will help identify benefits and flaws in the tested CPUs architecture.

Added debug console to several parts of PDF24 by pressing F12

This new feature makes a debug console visible to the user into which debug outputs are shown. This outputs helps in some circumstances to find errors. If you have problems with PDF Creator you can open the console and you can email the outputs to us so that we can look at it to find problems.

Bug fix: PDF creation problem when Ghostscript was installed before

If another version of Ghostscript was installed in your system PDF24 had problem to work correctly if the version installed by PDF24 and the other version was different. PDF creating failed in this case. This was bad because Ghostscript is installed on many computers and all those people could not use the PDF24 Creator. We have searched the problem and we have found and fixed it in this version.

Bug fix: Wrong state of Save All icon in PDF24 Editor toolbar

The save all icon in the PDF24 Editors documents toolbar was selectable in some cases if no document was visible. This was a wrong state. We have corrected that so that the button is only usable if documents are available.

Bug fix: Fixed some PDF profile inconsistencies in several modules

There were some PDF profile inconsistencies in exchanging data between several PDF24 Creator modules. In most cases users shouldn't have noticed anything. We have fixed this problem in version 4.0.
