MediaMonkey for Windows 2024.0.0.3043 RC-1

Post by rusty »

Hi,

We're really happy to announce the first release candidate for MediaMonkey 2024! It includes 25+ fixes and improvements among them all of the reported crash fixes, fixes to installer issues and all other known showstoppers.

Note that there are still a number of items that we're working on for possible inclusion in this release and a number of unconfirmed bug reports that we're investigating, but may elect to release this build if no showstoppers are found. Please let us know what you think!

Note:
- this build supports MediaMonkey 2024 license keys. If you purchase MMW5 now (or any time since April 2024), you'll receive an MMW 2024 license key. If you've purchased MMW5 between January 2023 and March 2024, we'll be sending out free MMW 2024 upgrades closer to release. MMW 2024 licensing is described in greater detail here.

MediaMonkey for Windows 2024.0.0.3057 test build

Post by rusty »

Hi,

We're happy to announce a new test build that includes 13 fixes and improvements. We're still working on a couple of items for the release candidate (RC-3) planned for next week, but this build should resolve most of the more severe outstanding issues including multi-monitor windowing (though work on this continues), stability, and others.

Please let us know what you think! We're especially interested in feedback re. how it functions in multi-monitor environments as there are only a limited number of scenarios we can test in-house.

MediaMonkey for Windows 2024.0.0.3070 test build

Post by rusty »

Hi,

We're just about done with MediaMonkey for Windows 2024, but we want to share a test build before the weekend so that as many people can try it out before we share a new RC early next week. This build has undergone limited testing, but includes 14 fixes, (including resolutions to most multi-monitor/window handling issues), though if you look at the list you'll see that two of the fixes are require some tweaks.

Please let us know what you think!
