Hi Jon, I'm not sure if there will be that sort of "grace period" automatic update this time around or not. Since I don't really have a specific fixed release date yet I don't know yet what the cutoff date for that would be, and I'd also need to think about the logistics of how to set that up as well.

At the moment I'm still focused on working on some features and I haven't quite shifted all of my attention to release issues like that quite yet.

Well, 2-3 more betas plus cleanup and documentation = roughly 6 months. 1000/180 = roughly 5 bucks a day.

A mickey D's burger!

Hi Burr, hopefully it will be somewhat faster than that but sometimes documentation can be awfully slow going so it's certainly possible for it to stretch out like that. I'm really hesitant to give any particular date because of that.

Thanks Michael, useful information to know.

Cheers,

Much as I'd like (or more to say my team would like!) and unlimited yearly software licensing budget the powers that be provide me with a finite budget to work with. It's a reasonable budget but I have to stay within it. Spending an extra $1000 in one area will mean cutbacks in another.

You've just reminded me of how much I long for simpler days when I only had one mouth to feed! :)

I'm looking forward to a couple more tricks up your sleeve, but there's no rush here........

"""""""""""""""Spending an extra $1000 in one area will mean cutbacks in another.""""""""""

You'll be forced to cut back dramatically on the amount of money you pay engineers and designers. I mean, 6 minutes vs. an hour or so... Huge cutback!

Yeah I hear you...... Michaels got a special mouth to feed too!
