I think this is just a matter of sentence construction--here I'm cutting all three of you that I'm quoting in this thread some slack, as apparent non-native speakers of English. I think Maxim means to be speaking in connection with the specific changes listed when 9Val made the announcement of the current (.31) beta, when he [Maxim] writes the words "generally better." RitLabs believes it has improved TB! with this version; in a great compliment to us, Maxim asks if we also think it is an improved version. It's what we as beta testers are here for, isn't it? So Maxim wants to know if we think the fixes (and changes) are well done enough for him to work on the msi wrap. So he won't be wasting his time. :) > Thank you, man! I thought nobody would think the same as I do in > this part. ;-) Some of us--not you, I think, Manuel--had complained very strongly about 3.5.0.14, 3.5.25, and 3.5.26 having been put on the public download without the development team's asking us beta testers if we thought those were ready to be there. And, even v. 3.5.30 went on a little too quickly, before the feedback on BayesIt's being omitted from that msi wrap arrived. So, I applaud Maxim vigorously for asking the questions that he did in his post which is quoted above. I hope we will see a v. 3.5.31 msi offered here on TBBETA only, when Maxim has written it, and a few hours of testing allowed for, before it is placed on RitLabs' public website. It *does* need to go there--because it will remedy the omitted BayesIt in v. 3.5.30 msi wrap. But not before a reasonable testing time. > Maxim, you can't ask this question a just a few hours later after the release > of the version you want to be discussed about. Yes, it was a good idea for him to ask, I think. See my comments above on how I interpret his words, "generally speaking." > Moreover, you at RitLabs should please think about your version/numbering > system.

However, I think it was only a slip on 9Val's part, having only just got back to work after having been away, to offer the 3.5.31 rar as "3.5.0.31." Just my own speculative opinion, of course. :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.0.31 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.31 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
