Title: Finishing up 9.1
Post by: JimH on July 28, 2003, 06:06:35 am

This week we're going to stop making any big changes to 9.1 and concentrate on bugs.

If you have ideas on how we can make MC better, please save them for the next version.

Thanks for your help.

Jim

Please start a new thread on "Hairstyle essentials" and we'll take a look.  If you can keep it simple, there may be a chance.

There is a reason we're bringing things to a close -- we need to clear the table for a new project.

Can you Have Matt or someone release any new SDK info.

or any info on when this will happen?

I'm not looking for something other than i know some changes to MC9.1 and the SDK info has not been updated yet.

At the moment the only major change I'd like to see is to be able to resize columns in the top pane.

The SDK probably will not be released until we've finished 9.1

This thread was started to let you know how the work will change now.  Please don't post feature requests.  Save them for next release.

Any bugs should be posted in the thread announcing the release of the build.

This is certainly good news in my opinion.
Aside from some disagreements on the various 'best' ways for the interface to behave, all looks great . . . .  

I hope now we will see any remaining 'bugs' fixed. It will  indeed be nice to see all that is in the 9.1 package work properly and any crashes eliminated.  

As it stands, with the remaining bugs fixed and a bit of tweaking you have created an awesome package, unlike any other, which satisfies most of the needs of the power-user.

While we can always find a bit more to ask for, you guys have done a fantastic job.

And no upper case PLEASE or any form of "I'm begging for this."  Also "an easy change".  No multiple question marks or multiple exclamation points.

There is an extra charge for use of paragraphs with more than four sentences.

The broom closet is not a nice place.

THIS IS NOT A FEATURE REQUEST.
FNORD!

Now that that's out of the way...

Previously, it was stated that DirectX Host would be reinstated before the final release of 9.1. As of this "no more new features" announcement, it has not returned. Does this mean that it's not going to be in 9.1 after all, or does it get grandfathered in as an "old feature" that's going to get sorted out in the "bug fixes"?
