On August 27 it was announced in the Blog section that Mori 1.7 would be released "imminently." A little later (if memory serves me correctly) the developer asked for a vote about releasing 1.7 with or without some specific features. But I've never seen any feedback on that vote.
Okay, I'll admit I may be old-fashioned in some ways, but I don't think in terms of geological time. "Imminent" to me would be within about 2 weeks. At any rate it certainly doesn't imply 2 more months of waiting: with no updates, no information. Nothing. It seems the developer is happy to twitter on about politics, but not to keep his customers informed about something he himself claimed was imminent.
If this was a business it would be going out of . . . oh, wait it IS a business (kind of).
Please update us. You can't seriously expect customer satisfaction, or customer allegiance, with this kind of behavior.
Every few months a customer asks for better communication. And the developer, every few months, says he will get better at this. Every few months a customer asks for an update. Every few months the developer writes (at the end of a long long expository containing multiple excuses) that the new Mori is about to be released. And yet nothing changes. Keep in mind we all remember the first "announcement" for Mori 1.7 was a release date of July 2007!
People are patient. People are understanding that unforeseen problems may crop up in the development process. But the lack of communication, and the lack of follow through, are very worrisome. (And needless to say, the proposed future pricing of $99 and $199 on vaporware is just laughable.)
I agree. The incapacity of
I agree. The incapacity of the developer is boring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mori is an excellent program. But this has nothing to do with this developer.
