hvar Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Now that Retrospect 9 is out, is version 8 End Of Lifed? In the Retrospect 9.0 Read me it states "Over 250 bug fixes, including improvements to the media request process, a config file backup process that provides better protection against corruption, and the elimination of certain spurious errors" These are 250 bugs from the Retro 8 version, isolated and corrected in version 9. That is good, but will these bugs be fixed in an 8.3 version? Or are any further updates of 8 cancelled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

13749174BE918DE1E040000A2A666149 Posted November 3, 2011 Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Shame, shame, shame! This is purely barefaced. I paid for a RS 8 that is buggy, buggy and again buggy. It's a neverending polonaise to get RS to do something. It's dead slow on a Mac Pro, and so on. I'd expected an excuse for V8 with 9. Let's see if RS is going to die with this ignorant practice. Oh, what times with 4 to 6 … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the sarcasm? Because I paid for it after 8.2 came out, and it has since expired without receiving a single bugfix. The "support" consisted of a number of reports filed, and then confirmation that "yep, it's broken" if a response came at all. What did my money buy? That's why there is sarcasm. I would have received exactly the same level of service without paying that fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
