No doubt, and I am sure there are other people handling the web site.
There is indeed someone else handling the website (who was kind enough to fix this issue after normal business hours tonight).
But with all of the changes over there I doubt if we would be notified if there
were new developers getting their hands in the declude.exe cookie jar.
There is indeed code from in 1.80/1.81 that was written by one of the other developers. However, I still oversee everything related to the source code -- I have full confidence in the programmer, and reviewed the code, which is in a feature that isn't being used yet.
So you can have the same level of confidence with the new version that you would if only I had been working on it (in other words, it has my "seal of approval").
I just think it is prudent from this point forward for my companies purposes that I wait. When I am more comfortable with the management changes and do not see many issues with releases I will probably go back to downloading as soon as convenient once again.
Did you already download 1.80? If so, I would urge you to upgrade to 1.81. If not, and you would feel more comfortable waiting, feel free to do so.
FWIW, the only reason for 1.81 being released so quickly after 1.80 is the problem with false positives with 1.80's detection of the GDIPlus.dll JPEG exploit. The reason for *that* is simply a coincidence involving 3 factors -- [1] the worst ever Microsoft exploit occurred just at [2] the same time that we were releasing 1.80, and the detection code which *had* to go in there (this exploit is one that it is much better to take too seriously than not seriously enough) [3] was buggy due to the incorrect algorithm from Microsoft. I was the one who OK'd the release of the GDIPlus.dll JPEG exploit detection code for 1.80 (based mainly on the source of the algorithm, and having discussed it with other people in the industry, none of whom shared my concern that their could be false positives). I felt that while there was a slight risk of false positives involved, it outweighed the risk of viruses getting through using this exploit (which wouldn't even require opening; the preview pane would start the virus).
If you have any concern about new releases, feel free to ask (either here, to our support address, or me directly). The change in management has indeed brought about some poor choices -- but also brought about some very good choices. While there are many aspects of the business that I am no longer very involved with (mostly by my choice), I can assure you that development of the Declude product is something that I am still almost completely in charge of. As I'm sure most people here realize, I want what is best for my customers, and the two things that I think are most vital are the reliability of the software, and quality of support.
