Well new for me anyway 
Found two new SAS blogs in the interweb today, one when I was researching EG 4.3 doco from Susan Slaughter who has a great post titled “Top 10 Reasons to Use SAS Enterprise Guide”
And a blog from philihp which has some good SAS coding hints.
**** Update: Much better outline on the process for EG 4.3 over at Chris’s Blog http://blogs.sas.com/sasdummy/index.php?/archives/194-SAS-Enterprise-Guide-4.3-is-available.html ***
I do believe SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3 has been released with a raft of new features!
A couple of presentations outlining what is new can be found here:
And the official doco is here:
Looks like the other 4.3 clients (i.e WRS, Portal, BI Dashboards) are still slated for October 2010 (the year is always as important as the month sometimes , but Chris and team delivered Enterprise Guide 4.3 as promised in August (well done Chris!)
Now it seems that to get hold of EG 4.3 you need to request it from your account manager.
However this SAS Discussion Forum post http://support.sas.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=10452 indicates that some people have got hold of it by updating their software depot.
Reading between the lines I think it looks like the process is to contact your account manager to get a new download order and then update your software depot to get the software. But as I said im guessing here.
Also it looks like there is some confusion about whether EG 4.3 will run on SAS 9.2 M2 or if SAS 9.2 M3 is a pre-requisite.
What I understand is that EG 4.3 requires SAS 9.2 M3 to be supported, but that it may work with M2.
If anybody has anymore info feel free to update SAS Discussion Forum post.
Oh and lastly reading the doco it seems that you need to migrate your EG projects to 4.3, even if they are currently 4.2. I wonder if this means that they are then incompatible with EG 4.2 after that (like the migration for EG 4.1 > EG 4.2). Think I need to contact my partner manager and get the new download order number and test a few things.
