I am confused..am I missing something obvious?
« on: December 20, 2007, 12:09:31 AM »
Just curious why, at the top of the forum page, the Heading "News: Alt.Binz 0.27.0" is showing, and why, when going to the download area I am presented with no option above v 0.25??

Thanks for the clarification.

Oh that explains it. I was thinking the same thing myself.

Its worth contributing. You help out rdl keep development going and get the latest versions. The new one has all new icons and looks very professional looking.

As well as having many functional improvements over the 0.25 version...

You know, I'm not against paying for software, but I do think you/the developer/someone needs to explain just what I get in 0.27.1 vs 0.25.0... All I've seen posted in vague functionality improvements, and that the Icon's look better. But I'm not really ready to spend $15-$20 on icons. I need some sort of sales pitch.

Version history with full list of bug fixes and feature additions is here (follow the links to read more about each):

https://www.altbinz.net/index.php?page=vhistory

You'll be waiting a long time for that 'sales pitch' because nobody here is trying to sell you anything.  You either donate and join our community, or you don't.  The free 0.25.0 version should give you a pretty good feel for what Alt.Binz does and doesn't do.
