    I believe the current is 3.17c and the next increment would likely be 3.20 or even the proposed 4.0 ...

    I try not to predict these things because priorities and plans change, but I don't anticipate a jump to 3.20 and certainly not to 4.0.

    Rather than the "fix all the things with no concern for backwards compatiblity" ideas I had for 4.0, I've chosen to take a more measured approach. I'm not sure there will ever be a 4.0. <shrug>

    Yup, I understand, odd how this topic keeps coming up in the threads, personally, over the past 25 years have never been in a hurry to see a new release, and am always happy to see improvements ... it always bothered me when people were, like "hey, you said you'd release a new version, where is it?" type stuff ... so to leave this topic alone all I will say is "keep up the great work and thank you for all you and the other dev team contributors do and especially for providing a very powerful, user freiendly FREE suite of services"

    Yes, I appreciate that Synchronet is actively maintained and is freely available. And even though it might be a little while between new 'official' releases, you can always take the latest development binaries & updates, since things are being updated very often. One example is that the message voting & polls, and the user avatars, were added at least a year before Synchronet 3.17 was 'officially' released.

    people can help in all kinds of ways. you can write documentation or do whatever you are good at. if you arent good at it, dont do it though.

    i did support for about 19 years; i helped over 100 people. by helping i mean doing it all for them.

    Yeah, a lot of people seem confused on this point, but running 32 bit apps on a 64 bit OS is pretty standard. It's only kernel mode drivers that have to be 64 bit.

    well you definitely stated no 4.0 so that is at least a fact.

    He said he's not sure there will ever be a 4.0. That doesn't
    necessarily mean there definitely won't be. Who knows if plans will change.

    I think just enjoy what we have and whatever comes down the pipe. There's regular updates (I must update myself one of these days). I don't care what the version number is, as long as it works (more or less! :) ).

    i kinda figured that though. so then 3 more versions and then
    it's quitsville. wonder what will 3.20 will look like then. will TM>> be interesting for sure.

    I don't remember Digital Man saying he's only going to release 3
    more versions of Synchronet and then quit?

    well he told me a while ago that 3.20 would be the final version.
    I don't recall ever saying that.
    I think you may have an over-active imagination. :-)

    Either that or too much THC and not enough TLC?

    so tha means what happens after? he quits then.

    well you definitely stated no 4.0 so that is at least a fact.

    That's not what I said. You should probably try to avoid quoting me from memory.

    Synchronet "Real Fact" #1:
    Development began in 1990 of the (unnamed at the time) Synchronet BBS software. Norco, CA WX: 76.7øF, 57.0% humidity, 0 mph SSE wind, 0.00 inches rain/24hrs
    you're absolutely right. i should quote you from quoting instead.

    Maybe they're worried about it being a 32-bit program? I've heard
    of some people who seem to think you should only run 64-bit software
    on a 64-bit OS.

    Yeah, a lot of people seem confused on this point, but running 32 bit apps on a 64 bit OS is pretty standard. It's only kernel mode drivers that have to be 64 bit.

    Yep. Even where I work, people seem to be confused about that sometimes. One time, my team was developing a web browser plug-in, as a DLL (for Windows). The one we were going to release was the 32-bit DLL, since most web browsers at the time were 32-bit. Someone on another team once said "Shouldn't it be 64-bit?" Apparently they didn't quite understand..

    I think just enjoy what we have and whatever comes down the pipe. There's regular updates (I must update myself one of these days). I don't care what the version number is, as long as it works (more or less! :) ).

    I agree, if there are regular updates, the version number doesn't matter as much.
