David, If 4.4.25 "is available to all with service agreements", where is it? Declude's main download page shows 4.4.0, and the interim page shows versions 4.4.23 and 4.4.24.
And, as your readme.txt file in your interim directory says, "Interim releases are versions of Declude that are released between betas (some software companies refer to these as "alphas"). They have one major advantage to betas and released versions: they allow our customers to get fixes and new features very, very quickly. We can often have a fix in less than an hour. However, there are a number of drawbacks..." Interim releases are not production releases. You cannot substitute a production release with an interim release. And trying to equate an interim release with an "official" production release is disingenuous. If there is a stable release with significant bug fixes (such as deleting the .txt files being left in the work directory by AVG), then why has it taken this long for Declude to release it "officially"? Declude's answer for a problem should not be to tell me to install an alpha or beta version of their product on my production server.
