There are two versions of Pary Beta out there. One is build 87 and one is build 89. Perhaps there is a version 88 out there as well. They do not auto update when you login ( so far ). Note that the most recent version of the non-beta version of Party also shows build 87.

Build 87 installs to a seperate Party Beta directory and STILL allows observed hands to be seen and read by pokertracker..etc..

Build 89 overwrites the original Party directory during installation and does NOT allow observed hands to be seen. You have to be dealt into a hand to get the hand history. I believe it still creates .hhf files but nothing is being written to them. This is the version people are talking about when they say the "the end of datamining".

Unfortunetly, at least for me, build 87 was crashing yet I haven't had a single crash with build 89. So I use the original non-beta party to datamine but build 89 to play. I simply changed the build 89 directory and re-installed the original Party so I have all 3 versions on my system.
