The only disadvantage about the latter is that the end-user actually has to download the standalone and decide where to put it and generally spend more time on "meta" things. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: One day to go . . .
Hello, I'd say that it is the third way to "resolve" some bugs. The first one is to say "we are working on it", making promises about a release and then never release anything. The second is just to let bugs in an "unconfirmed" status even if they are trivial to replicate. These are the 2 ways to "resolve" some bugs that I've learned from RunRev. Too bad to some time manage things that way when the product is really good.
