In a way it is funny indeed, because everything is so predictable. Release 4.1 was an unpleasant surprise for many users, because they were, suddenly & without warning, reduced to "unregistered" status. V. 4.1, in hindsight, also needed "important bugfixes", which led to: Release 4.2, which has above mentioned "important bugfixes", but also, amongst other symptoms, Postponed Sending, messed-up Tips- Of-The-Day and broken OTFE. This is specifically funny for seasoned TB! users, because they know these cock-ups are not merely incidental accidents, but an integral and important part of Ritlabs' software release history. For example, almost 5 years ago I tried to install an early 3.x release version which had some inferior Bayesian plug-in (Bayes-It!) integrated. The result of those attempts: Access Violations all over the place and a plug-in that resisted uninstallment at all cost. This is just a single example. Soon after this disaster I gave up on TB! and since then I only use it for archiving purposes. Believe me. I've been on TBUDL and TBBETA since version 1.4x and it has always been like this (and I guarantee you it will always be like this). Nothing surprises me anymore.Each new Ritlabs blunder just fills me with mild amusement. Otherwise I couldn't care less.
