WarpIn 1.0.23 - Where is it?

<< < (3/4) > >>

Lewis Rosenthal:
Ivan: If your subscription is in force, then you have no rush. The point was for the folks who let their subscriptions lapse (think: early adopters, who purchased ArcaOS 5.0 in May of 2017 with six months included subscription and then never renewed). It's simply not fair to everyone who does renew on time to have people go three years and then re-up for another year at a fraction of the cost of a new license. Everyone else is funding development in the meantime. (And frankly, the vast majority of ArcaOS licensees do renew early or on time, probably because we continue to crank out new stuff and we work tirelessly to address trouble tickets. </shameless plug>)

David: That link is correct. There is no 5.0.5 available today. We plan on a release sometime this month, but that hasn't happened, yet. So, in the meantime, 5.0.4 is the current shipping release, and from your original order page, you may download a decent portion of the updates which have been released to date, but more stuff is coming in 5.0.5. I've been busy in the workshop today, hammering out the last few bumps (I hope; at least everyone else on the team has been waiting on me, today).  ;)

Cheers

David Graser:
Thanks for the reply Lewis.  My gratitude to you and your team for all the improvements you have been making to the ArcaOS.  Every version appears to be more stable than the previous one.   5.04 is the stablest I have seen so far out of any OS/2, eComstation, and ArcaOS version.  Looking forward to version 5.05.  I have a partition waiting for it.

Lewis Rosenthal:
 :)

Thanks to you, too, David. We have a couple more of your outstanding icons in 5.0.5 (for the MozTurbo objects, at least, and probably a few more in other nooks and crannies). Your work is very much appreciated.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread.
But I kind of don't like the sentiment of the above.
Don't get me wrong I appreciate everything you have done with ArcaOS Lewis and will keep updating my subscription to support the development.
But I don't think someone that buys arcaos 5.0 and stays with it is some kind of criminal. I mean they supported the OS by buying in the first place.
And, some people are happy to stay with older versions - such as if you are mainly running a legacy app and it can keep functioning fine and they are not needing to be as cutting edge.

Anyways, my 2 cents.

To be quite frank, I don't like the sentiment that "others can pay for development, and I will jump in when I feel like it".

If it works for you, use it. You had the free, timed, subscription with the initial license, and now you leave others to pay for the next stuff that you will, eventually, need. If you don't continue to support the project, why should they let you back in without a penalty? That isn't fair to those of us who do contribute.

It is all in your point of view.
