Wait for 0.9.8b - they screwed up the versions

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Contributed by: versiontracker2007 Wednesday, December 10 2008 @ 04:25 AM PST

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

The 0.9.8a disk image has 0.9.8 on it, which of course finds an update on the net, to 0.9.8a, which downloads another disk image labelled 0.9.8a, which also has 0.9.8 on it, and the cycle repeats. At least on PowerPC.

This isn't the first time they ballsed up the versions ("0.8.6i" anyone?)

Same issues for me, too. Tried many times 12/10 and 12/11 with the same results with 0.9.8 downloaded within the 0.9.8a .dmg

So developers: how do we provide your stated desire for feedbacks?
