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. I have sent requests to MS and th

Hi Dev, Generally the person who reports a bug is notified when it is fixed. This isn't done automatically so there are some slip ups. Also it probably doesn't happen for everyone who reports a bug - just the first person whose details are attached to the bug report. Cathy At 02:29 AM 30/11

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 ch
