DataViz sent out an email to all users with OS 4.5+ letting them know that they have updated Documents To Go. The new version is 1.005 and brings quite a few welcome changes. From the change log:

NOTE: I saw this little tidbit at the end of the email that DataViz sent out. I guess you only get to download the application update once without paying?
"Registered users are allotted one opportunity to download the Standard Edition free software update. A $2.99 Download insurance/maintenance fee is required for additional downloads."
Thanks to everybody who sent this one in!

DON ‘T DO IT! I “upgraded” my standard version only to find out that Dataviz has taken out the workaround that lets you edit documents in that version.
THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP DATAVIZ…NOT! What a bunch of sleezeballs!

What work around was that?

Whoops nevermind! The workaround is still there and you can edit your docs in the Standard version. I Love you Dataviz! 🙂

Haha… sounds like you requested a recount.
