Do bugzilla this if you haven't already. I know Kevin and Mark are
winging their way back to Scotland now and are planning on getting the
updater updated to the latest version, but your excellent suggestion
about making the revision number obvious in many places should get
into the bug database where it can at least get voted on. Personally
I'd like to see it in the About box, the Help menu, and the web site.

I tried it with 10.4.1 in both the same volume and a different volume.
Hypercard turns on and everything but Reports 9 to 5 is completely broke.



 
 I can't run
 Tiger because it destroyed Hypercard.
 
 
 It didn't for me! I am still using HyperCard with Tiger. I heard that  9
 to 5 Reports no longer works but I don;t have that to test.  HyperCard
 itself still works fine.
 
 Tiger introduced a filepath problem that apparently affects some Classic
 apps, including HC. HC's global filepaths break and you can only edit
 some scripts (like the Home stack's) remotely.
 
 Upgrading to 10.4.1 apparently fixes it, or alternately you can run HC
 from a volume that isn't the startup volume and that works too.

I can confirm that Check for updates... still reports build 91 as 
the newest. Either RR folks forgot to update the central file or 
something has changed and only the newest version gets the proper 
build info.

Hey Dan, before anything else, thanks for an excellent couple of days.  I 
just wish it had been longer, but then again we'd both be bankrupt !!


Yes, I know about the Check for Updates but I was hoping somebody from 
Rev would pick up on my (maybe too) subtle hint at putting the bloody

I heard that a bug fix version had been recently released a little
while after 2.6 was released.  I don't know the timing of the bug
fix release, and I may have already got the latest version (it was
a few days between v2.6 release announcement and me downloading it).
On checking the RunRev ftp site (ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/ 
revolution/downloads/distributions/current/) it looks like the

2.6-1.i386 is the latest there, but the properties box on my WinXP
version says its 2.6.5.91

Can somebody please shed some light on the version numbering please ?

Of course I'm guessing at the version number of the ftp site as it
actually does not tell you what it is for the revsetup.exe file,
just the .rpm file.  Ahem maybe this could be easily fixed ;-)

many thanks, Bob...

Latest version of Revolution ?

2005-06-21 Thread Robert J. Earp
This may seem a silly question, but what is the latest revision of 
Revolution ?


I heard that a bug fix version had been recently released a little while 
after 2.6 was released.  I don't know the timing of the bug fix release, 
and I may have already got the latest version (it was a few days between 
v2.6 release announcement and me downloading it). 

On checking the RunRev ftp site 
(ftp://ftp.runrev.com/pub/revolution/downloads/distributions/current/) 
it looks like the 2.6-1.i386 is the latest there, but the properties box 
on my WinXP version says its 2.6.5.91


Can somebody please shed some light on the version numbering please ?

Of course I'm guessing at the version number of the ftp site as it 
actually does not tell you what it is for the revsetup.exe file, just 
the .rpm file.  Ahem maybe this could be easily fixed ;-)


many thanks, Bob...

It appears that the built-in Check for Updates... function is not 
reliable:

Put the buildnumber gets me 108
but Check for Updates... returns the advice that I should download 
the older engine version 91.
