Because some releases are only internal, i.e., we find a problem and have to do another release to testers, you will often see version numbers "jump" between releases. If you do, it doesn't mean you missed anything.
Why don't you use createallsubdirs overwritereadonly recursesubdirs ignoreversion flags within your inno setup? in particular the ignoreversion will ensure destination files are overwritten without you having to bump the version number each time. You can also simplify your installer (if you haven't done so) by using wildcards.

Code: Select all

I will try, but I can't promise. I know this is frustrating for everyone, but right now we're struggling to make sure everyone can install the basic Unify and its updates without getting files snarled up. For most people, everything goes smoothly, but we have so many users already (God bless you all!) that if even 5% have problems, John gets overwhelmed with support emails. It's coming along...

Thanks everyone for your support AND your patience.

Thank you for the suggestions. Windows installers are no problem, and Inno Setup (which I'm still learning) is terrific. Mac installers, on the other hand, are... not so straightforward.

A separate "release notes" page/link with version numbers and dates would suffice if you could do that, and maybe edit the head post here when an update is released?

Forgive my ignorance. What does "edit the head post" mean? I didn't create this thread; am I permitted to do this?

Yeah I forgot that part.

==============================================================================

For GetDunne:

Thanks for putting a link to the pluginguru forum at the pluginguru.com site. That was fast!

I regards to release notes and software version numbers;

You could create a closed topic (administrator only postings, no user comments) at your own forum. Many forums do this.

For example a topic could be "version 1.1 released" and would have additions/improvements, bugs fixes, etc. We could see it was released on March 1, 2020.

next closed topic "Version 1.2 released" with the date of June 2, 2020.
And so on......

Regards,
Mike

@mrsugmad I like that closed-topic idea, thanks!

Nah tell you what, skip the demo and focus on the important parts! We'll buy it anyway. :tu:

This.

Again, love that you guys are so committed to future development. Keep up the good work!

I totally understand the need for testing a plugin by means of a demo, but if you like ANY of Pluginguru's sound libraries, then this is totally worth the price. I don't want to talk for The Skipster, but I'm sure he will take care of it if you have such an unique system, which leads to Unify being a total disaster (ie technical incompatibility).
