I was not suggesting that any more need have been said about the regional version changes (if all they included were wording changes). Of course, if I were a user of one of those regional versions and was expecting a specific wording change, I might be a little upset if I didn't find it after downloading the update. ;-) I was questioning whether or not any *other* bug fixes were included in this release. Since it is not Legacy's policy to list everything that is included in each release, I have no way of knowing. Should I download the release on the off chance that a few *other* bugs were fixed? Even if a few were fixed, were they bugs that I reported and am currently working around? And should I spend 45 minutes on a dial-up connection just to find out? This whole discussion is looking more and more like a dead horse. I'm sure the powers that be have taken note of these concerns and will decide one way or the other on a remedy. -- Dev +++ Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail.

RE: [LegacyUG] Old Issue with Unwanted Punctuation (Period)
I've been on both sides of software updates (programmer writing fixes; system administrator trying to ensure a new release doesn't break anything critical to a 24/7 operation). My experience is that *very* few people ever read a detailed fix list if it's more than a couple of pages. As a system admin responsible for a dozen UNIX machines that supported 200+ users, I was one of those few readers. If a fix list item identifies the person who reported the problem, privacy requirements usually mean that the list must be cleaned before general release. Unless the reporting system is set up to track and respond to the person who reports a problem, that person may never know there is a fix. Would I read every line of a 12 page list of Legacy fixes/enhancements? Probably not. Would I do search such a list if it were available electronically? Maybe twice a year. Is it worth the additional costs that would be incurred? I don't think so. I still do some software development (PDA software for equipment control) and most of the small fixes are only noted in the source code, then bundled into the next major fix. Major items are fixed as they occur and sent out to the client with the (usually very short) list of fixes. There's also the very different mindset of those with high speed internet access and those with dialup on their only phone line. I have the luxury of fast DSL at home, but occasionally find myself in locations which have a single phone line. If your normal access is high speed, you should try dialup only for several weeks...

But in many cases, fixes have been reported by more than one person, simultaniously. Who gets the note, or do they all get one. Who keeps track of that list. I hope they spend the time fixing the program instead of sending thank you notes as the last part of a fix.

Re: [LegacyUG] Old Issue with Unwanted Punctuation (Period)
Honestly, as a computer software developer (not for Legacy), It is pretty much unheard of to list every single change that has gone into a release - especially something like a single period being printed where it should not. In any software program, for each release, there is often hundreds of changes and little bug fixes. To list every single thing would leave an impression that the software is more buggy than it is, would be a list that very few people would actually want to read completely, and would include bugs (like the one listed) that would affect only 1 in a 1000 people or so because it shows up with a specific combination of settings or events or both. It just isn't done, and for those good reasons.
