I have dozens of projects that would need to be updated, and when the script is done, it will only take seconds to execute...

I would also but there seem to be very clear instructions on how to make the
changes yourself without any routine.

If you have a project based site it should only take about 15 minutes to do
this.

I understand your frustration.  This will cause some extra work for me as
well, but i consider it being a case where the ends justify the
means.  There were major problems with how they were named and this
problem had to be fixed.  The nature of the problem by design requires a
solution that is not backwards compatible.  Yes It sucks.

I will be writing a small program to make the required conversions let me
know if you are interested in using it.

The the most problematic "what's new" issue that I noticed
was the fact that the definitions of the encoding parameter
have been changed.

The new definitions make more logical sense than the
old ones. However, the new definitions will break every
program that I have written. I am very upset about this
change. It is very hard to go to a client and tell them that
they have to pay me to update their site due to a change
in Witango. As far as they are concerned, the site was
working fine, and they are not willing to pay me to fix a
working site due to a change in the programming language.




These changes really suck!  New updates should not
be incompatible with older versions in this avoidable way.
I have rarely been bitten by previous updates. This one
bites me everywhere.

Can you please point me in the direction of this document? I have looked
at the Witango site and cannot seem to find it. I've looked under
products and saw the what's new in 5.0 but not 5.5. I've looked under
developer and can't find it there either. Unless of course he is
referring to 5.5 developer and not server, but it didn't read that way.
Thanks!

John, you make a valid point.

For who are interested in 5.5, read on...

The pricing was set on July 21, at which time the selling of the 5.0
server ceased. The resellers should all have updated their price lists
at this time.

The product was officially announced by WT's press release on Aug 28th,
as you noted, however it was more like Aug 30th in America by the time
the site was updated. I think a combination of the holiday weekend, and
perhaps a little under-enthusiasm by the resellers has led to what seems
to a lack of communication.

That said, Witango 5.5 is truly released. It is preferred that
developers make use of the 5.5 Studio at this time and provide guidance
to their clients to begin an upgrade process. IT IS VITAL that you all
read the "What's New in 5.5" document. Witango 5.0 and previous files
may not be immediately usable on the 5.5 server due to some changes.

Also, anyone who is seeking a free upgrade because they have purchased a
5.0 server after the deadline (11/1/03) should know that they will be
contacted over the next few weeks by WT directly with their upgrade.
Others seeking pricing or additional information regarding the upgrade
should review www.witango.com or seek their favorite reseller. 30-day
trial downloads, and the LITE versions are available on www.witango.com

Please contact myself, or any other reseller for more information.

Any idea why I went to the Witango site today to see the press release
titled "WITANGO TECHNOLOGIES INTRODUCES WITANGO SERVER 5.5 FOR OS X and
WINDOWS" with a dateline of August 28, 2004.  But since 8/28 there has
been NO official announcement on this mailing list?

Am I the only one who didn't get this, did my mail client destroy the
mail before I saw it?

If not, does anybody else think it's strange that a company would forget

to tell it's best customers about a release of a product?  I've been
waiting for the official release and the pricing information for a while

now so I could make up a proposal to do some upgrades.  I just can't
believe we were not notified by this channel.
