It would be wonderful for ALL Finale users if there were a list of all
the changes, in some sort of alphabetical or logical order, rather than
the current "oh yes, and I almost forgot, we also did THIS" format of
the current incomplete list we get with each version.
Oh well, we can dream, can't we? Apparently that's all we'll get to do
about such things, given MakeMusic's reply to your request.
Too many things to possibly list them all? Give me a f#$%&ing break!
If it's too long to possibly list them all, it would be too long for
them to have actually programmed them all!
Let me start by saying I completely agree with you. There, now that
I have that out of the way... =)
I think what happens with MM, and most software developers that do
this yearly, "buy me cause I have a few new toys and a few more bugs"
update thing, is that it is such a rush to production, that while they
do have a list of what they're working on, it's probably not always
clear what is actually going to get finished by production, and that
the final list of what makes it in is probably not known to any one
person.
This is problematic...but more importantly symptomatic of this kind
of development. While it may be "better business" to release a yearly
update to rake in the revenue, for the stability and promise of the
program, I'd sincerely prefer that MM take their time, work on
specific problems that they, (and their dedicated users), want
addressed, and release the update when it is stable, ready, and
significantly improved.
I guess we can dream, David.
