Release date for MM 5 (Win and macOS)

Post by skrutm »

Hi,

I wonder when we can expect MM 5 to be released; for Mac and Windows?

It seems to me you got stuck with this HTML-Javascript all platform crap!
I see some basic bugs still beeng reported after a few years of testing...
Or am I wrong?

Well, yes, the development takes longer than we'd like, but we're getting there. We are about to release MM5 beta and so the final MM5 release for Windows hopefully isn't far. Mac will yet need some time then.

I wonder, isn't that supposed to be all-platform, runs on all platforms application?

Thanks

Definitely. The base of MM5 is cross-platform ready, but there's a lot of smaller details that have to be solved and so instead of spreading our resources, we decided to finish the Windows version first and only then focus on other platforms (Mac and Linux).

Hi,
I can't find a Forum Thread for Beta testing MM5. Am I missing something?
I guess by now, you are about to release MM5 final version soon?

Hi,

Have you considered a free version upgrade period for MM Gold if you purchase it now? I've been checking in periodically for years while MM5 has been under development because I really like MM4 and I've been planning on switching to Gold once the next version has been released. It's the only thing stopping me from upgrading right now!

Since you're relatively close, it would be great if you could include an 'if you upgrade from this point forward, you'll automatically get MM5 Gold once it's released".

I think that it is good that MM are taking the time required to get MM5 feature-loaded and stable before release, or progression to beta, don't you?

The best way to encourage and assist progress is to get constructively involved in the alpha test.
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.
