Timeline and cudos since June?

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Jim,

My favorite subject ;)

I think there's been a real improvement in Rev.

Bugzillas have been aknowledged significantly and best of all fixed in the 
best cases.
Although since 2.6.1's release this seems to have stopped - Mark surely is 
taking a well
deserved rest i hope ;)

Now, the 2.6.1 release really deserves praise - since i first started with 
Rev, it has been
a long wait to see 1) bugzilla support, 2) the fixes... And 2.6.1 finally 
delivered those...

The bad news:

Rev on windows is still far far from perfect - but it works (but not 
without as Richard said
"requiring explicit effort from the developer" - and then there
is clipboard, menu hotkeys, htmltext translation issues which 
are a patience test each time they fail to work as graphic 
applications do since 1984 or since html exists.

And where is color cursor support? Im still amazed that doesn't 
come for this so very capable "multimedia application"... 

These last issues and some other issues persist to cause issues for
some 5 years (one recently mentioned with editing groups...)

But i renewed my license a 2nd time because the update was worth it -
finally, for once... They sure did a good job and i encourage them 
to continue the effort! Although that would mean i'd have to stop
complaining ;)

cheers
Xavier
