In this blog, I wanted to foreshadow some up and coming happenings at Cadent. A big one: version 2.0 of wineCellar is under heavy development! I don't want to give out too much information on what changes are being made at this time, but to give the following points:
- The current look and feel will remain the same.
- The current feature set will remain the same.
- One critical new feature is being added. It is this feature which justifies the version number change to 2.0.
- The new feature involves the internet.
- Both Mac and Windows versions will be upgraded at the same time.
With the addition of this new feature, the price of wineCellar will need to go up. Not by much. I'm anticipating an increase of only about $5US. On that note, it is important for me to outline the following:
- Out of gratitude to those who have purchased licenses to wineCellar 1.x, there will be no upgrade cost. Version 2.0 will recognize your license code and continue working at no cost to you.
- On the day of release, the ability to purchase 1.x license codes will be turned off so you will be forced to download version 2.0 and pay the new price
This blog is a "prompt" to those who are thinking about buying wineCellar but have not done so yet. If you buy now, you will be able to get version 2.0 at the 1.x price. Wait too long and you will miss out.
As to when version 2.0 will be shipping, that is difficult to say. There is a lot of work still to be done. I would not expect it to be done for another month now, but not long after that.
