Hi, sorry you are basically right, however there is some method to our
madness in this
area, we don't announce new versions terribly often basically and this is
partly because of a belief that if your system is working it probably
shouldn't be changed. Secondly we do staged
releases, where we try and avoid having all customers upgrade on the same
day, as this
significantly decreases the chances of a serious bug sneaking out and
getting to
everyones system, unfortunately a side effect of this is that we sometimes
forget to actually
announce versions :-)
However, there is an announcement list you can subscribe to:
http://netwinsite.com/cgi-bin/dnotice.cgi?cmd=addmodify
And there is a page for updates
http://netwinsite.com/dnews/updates.htm
And I will take some steps to make sure announcements do occur when they
should in future.
