Chaotic version situation

JoRo · Post by **JoRo** » Tue Jan 02, 2007 7:43 pm

well, how do I get informations about the latest window version?
Where is the general annoucement forum, where such things are posted?
Where is the historie?

I have found, by reading some topics - that is crazy -, that the actual build is version 4.02. Wow!

But where can I read, what has changed..........
I am really waiting for the actual ogre update, but the situation here seems so chaotic, that you need time, only to find, whether there is a new version, far away from getting the information, when the stable release of ogre is implemented,
or I am blind and simply do not found the forum, where such things are posted?

Log on to your personal account. There you can see the latest versions.

Basically, there are no changes to 4.02 over 4.0, it's the same product with a large number of bugfixes applied. Changes as dramatic as those in 4.0 over previous versions require a few thousand users banging away over some months before all the new bugs are found and eliminated. This has been the case and the resulting 4.02 is a remarkably stable and trustworthy language. But I think you wouldn't find any new features in a 4.0x release, to see new features or upgraded systems you'd need a release of 4.1 or higher. (imho.)

I am used, that bugfixes also are a part of the "changes historie".

A process, where I first have to log in with a password, which is not choosen by myself means, I first have to look for the password, then log in, just to see, that nothing has happens.
That what I would call a chaotic, or more correct, userunfriendly, situation.

I really would suggest to add a forum kategory, where all important news are posted, and where new threads can not be created by the users.

There for example important notes, like the status of the MacVersion, Ogre implementation and so on..... could be posted, and of course the list of changes for new updates.

You can change your password. And in the Announcements forum you will always find topics for the latest versions for each platform at the top of the list. When a new version comes out (except for beta) the old topic is dropped. The changelog for each version is in the help file.

Then I was blind.
But I thought, the Annoucement category is for:
"Developed or developing a new product in PureBasic? Tell the world about it."
