## Big Cheers ##
... to you fine fellows that developped and still groom VUE!
This feels like X-Mas for me!
I am deeply in love with VUE and use it a lot for many different tasks. Lately I felt it was neglected a bit and feared for its future and future compatibility. Also very excited and happy about some of the bug-fixes and especially the reintroduction of mouse-wheel functionality!

VUE is the best concept mapping software, better than cmap tools.

There is a little question (a little misbehavior) when you save the maps in html-format: all links are absolute-referenced to the local disks so when you distribute your html maps saved with VUE they don't run when you try to open the links in other computers.

In this case, I open the html-generated file with notepad and change all this links.

I send you an example with good links. Unzip the file and open "0 INDICE.HTML" (It is the first module of a mindfulness spanish course)

Thanks.

You hero! Thanks for keeping this alive. It's such an amazing bit of software. I use it almost every day.

Mike Korcynski - Thanks for this. I'm really happy that there is support for El Capitan (Otherwise I would have to choose, I was holding back from El Capitan; Vue won!!)
I second what Jan Wunderlich said:

Vue is really an excellent tool, second to none, I'm was getting worried that it got 'lost', but the 3.3.0 release has made me happy.

YES!

Used on Linux Ubuntu 14.04, I just loaded the normaly 3.3.0 version but when started, it seems to be (About VUE) version 3.2.2 built May 223 2013 at 2146.
Is there something wrong on the server ?

I hope a new release every 6 months.
Already downloaded 3.3.0
I have post my wish: themes or styles that can be applied to maps. So im waiting for that.

Very, very, very good!!!

Not sure why you're seeing this I did verify the JAR download is in fact 3.3.0

Thanks for your help Mike. I found my mistake.

I didn't erase completely the directory with the previous version.
And following the recommendations

quote
Linux / Generic JAR-only version (no installer included)
Download the generic VUE version
After downloading and extracting the zip file, double-click on VUE.jar to launch VUE.
unquote

I unzipped the vue.jar (was not a ZIP ! but I didn't care) in the previous directory...instead of just copying ! What a nice mix !

Now it works. Maybe the download page
https://vue-forums.uit.tufts.edu/posts/list/1419.page
need to be updated saying that unzip is not required anymore...

Oh, yeah, sorry thats my fault. I switched the build system at some point and stopped zipping the jar :/ I'll update the site.

Would just like to add my profound appreciation for the VUE team -- for making available and continuing to craft one of the most useful and thoughtfully constructed tools in our collective toolbox!

Thanks for keeping VUE up and running! :D

Awesome stuff!

One issue, though -- it appears as if I can't nudge more than one object at a time (2+ nodes or 1 node + 1 edge) with arrow keys on the keyboard. I'm using 3.3 on a Mac w/ Yosemite.
