Ady:
The problem is of course, that once the new version comes out, we're going to have to adapt our code to work with it, delaying us further. I would have thought that being this close to the release date, that there would at lease be a beta we could start using. It may not be completely stable, but that's the point of a beta.
Ady, I was assured by Adam that the upgrade is to be seemless. Then again I was, in the same discution, also assured that CuteEdit 6.0 was going to be released no later than the 15th of February 2007.
olegkap: It seems like one more week is not enough.
I agreed that at least beta should be released.
I used ComponentArt product for a while and they do release beta version before they release the final version so everybody will know its a beta and it might have an errors but have time to change they code.
Even if it will be final release it will always have errors since nothing is perfect.
So I guess if we could have a beta to work with for now it could give you more time for testing and we could see that there is some work done and its not just promises of next month or next week.
olegkap, I agree, I have also been using the "growing" Component Art suite and found that they keep to their deadline and keep me informed. Their betas are generaly of a good quality and their answer time very low (like couple of hours). And they will be coming out with an HTML editor shortly... Need I say more?
As far as a BETA of CuteEditor 6 is concerned, it should of been made available 6 months ago.
All of this is unfortunate, I (and my company) have been a loyal user of CuteEditor and other CuteSoft products for many years. In all fairness CuteEditor was the best editor of it's kind for many years. It seems that through nothing else then a lack of service and support, this is no longer the case.
We live on the bleeding edge of technology and we can not have a supplier lag behind.
