Quote - Are we no longer getting the Reality update that was promised over a week ago?
I never promised anything. Having said so, the update is in the hands of the testers.
Btw, I want to take the opportunity to mention that this is something extra. There was no obbligation for me to do this update. There was no commitment to support any and all updates to Lux for the time being for free. Making updates costs me a lot of money and I have to do it on top of the 14-16 hours of development, seven days a week, that happen normally.
I try my best to support a plugin that is sold at less than half the price of similar products. The website and badwidth for it cost a very high amount of money. The next delivery will result in a pretty big bill from my web provider.
Making a new version of Reality requires to create four versions for it. Mac OS 32bit, Mac OS 64 bit, Windows 32 bit and Windows 64 bit. Each one of those versions must be tested to perform as expected and to not have introduced regression bugs. I never release a version that has not been tested completely.
I understand that there is anticipation but I ask to please avoid putting more pressure on me because I simply cannot take it. I have been running on an insane schedule for almost a year now. All this while we had death in the family, my wife has gone through some horrific experience that brough to the hospital, something that is still dragging its feet today.
There is only one of me, writing, developing and providing assistance. Please bear with me. I always deliver but I never promise a date. Reality has been released, since day one, only when it's ready, and it's ready only after I'm convinced that it will work for all of you.
Just mention this to let know what's happening.
Cheers.
Paolo
