Title: Release Dates on apps...
Post by: hiamps on 21 May 2010, 12:22:50 pm
Is there any way you wonderful people at Lunatics could consider putting the release date next to each app as they are released? It would make it easier to see how long it has been since I downloaded instead of trying to find the last one I downloaded and comparing it. I think I am behind as I just downloaded the v.36 and am using V.35.

I've thought about & tried it in the past, but it didn't work, since it made more maintenance when swapping relevant builds out giving more chance for human error, rather than less.  Apart from that, all the builds inside span several years of work anyway, so in many cases a single release date for the installer won;t necessarily mean anything significant changes.  Best thing to do is compare dates on release posts and/or installer file dates & version numbers that you already have.

v0.36 is only an Astropulse check-pointing bug fix, and there hasn't been an 'official' release for it as such, so no such date applies other than to say '0.36 is the current one'  and the next one will probably have a number higher than 0.36  :)

Thank you Jason, we surely don't need to put more maint. anywhere. Will keep watching and enjoying all your hard work. Thanks to all the Lunatics.
