This looks interesting. I see that the license is only valid for a certain version. How often are new versions released? I couldn't find any info on release dates of previous/current versions.
- RoyalSloth 7y agoThey are not bound to specific dates, as shipping to hit an arbitrary date creates a buggy software. A version is released when a new feature/a set of features is ready. This is actually the first public release, that's why there are no release dates online.
- jamespetercook 7y agoI think you should tie the licence to major versions, and give people confidence that they will still receive updates for bug fixes and patches. But they’ll have to purchase a licence to get new features.
- Brave-Steak 7y agoI just feel it's hard to evaluate the price if I don't have a rough idea of how often there might be updates. Is it a monthly thing? Every 4 months? 8? Once a year? I don't know how much time passed between v1.0 and 1.1 and 1.2. I don't even need exact dates. A statement like "We expect to push out a new version every few weeks/months/once a year or so" makes it easier to reason about the cost.
- RoyalSloth 7y agoYou are right that was updated to free updates for one major version (e.g: license 1.2.0 is also valid for 1.3.0, 1.4.0 but not for 2.0.0). Thanks for suggestions
