+++ This is a major update: please read! +++
Release 11.2.0 is a major update with optimized project performance and PDF handling.
When a project file is opened with MAXQDA for Mac 11.2.0 for the first time, the database of the project file is updated and optimized for the use with this version. This may take several minutes for users with very large project files and/or projects containing a large number of PDF documents.
If you work in a team, it is important that all team members update to 11.2.0. We strongly recommend to not open updated project files with older versions of MAXQDA for Mac, even though sharing projects with users of older releases is still possible by exporting projects to the MAXQDA exchange format (.mex).
