The price for 2.0 is quite high, especially because I don't know yet, what I get with APG in detail. Many things are planned, but only some functionallity is implemented right now.
I gave the Autopano team credit, and bought APG hoping for the best to come.

Rhetorical question really. Grateful to have somewhere I can let off steam though.

Indeed I did.DrSlony wrote:The question of whether 2.0.0 should have been called 2.0.0 or 2.0.0-RC1 is open to debate, but I certainly see the point of releasing it publically.
Sorry, but I don't: Although I haven't tried 2.0.0 in detail yet, after all the buggy Betas and RCs I can hardly imagine, that 2.0.0 is even half as stable as 1.4.2.

Alexandre and his mates are producing an astounding product and it will take time to stabilise. I am happy to have paid for the APG upgrade in anticipation of all it WILL do eventually. Kolor deserve to make a decent living from super intellectual property. I bought APP Pro 10 days before the 1.4.08 "free upgrade" cutoff date; do I feel bad about this? No! If it's too much dosh for you, I'm sorry, but you'll just have to make do with something less sophisticated...
cheers

In my opinion this is nonsense. Where would Kolor be if it didn't make APP available so they can get people to do testing for free?

Aeriscera wrote:Hi Rod,
You make some good points, as did Alexandre when he talked about beta-testing being a "win-win" situation. My point of contention is that "privilege" implies being granted something that is not earned. So yes, I did not earn the "right" to be a beta-tester, but was there anyone who wanted to be a beta tester but was told by Kolor that they could not be one? In fact I think it is Kolor that is priviliged to have so many people working so hard for them for free. The book scam was another example: we have to pay for a book that contains our work? I thought that was offensive too.
