Beta Update software function error - none available!

Post by FioranoCars »

We are running beta 6.11.7 and the auto check as well as the manual update check have both failed to identify that a new (non-beta) version is available!

Release Version - 6.11.10.1540 is available

The Release version checks for Normal and optionally beta versions, surely the beta version should identify that a release version is newer and offer that (and potentially the option to uninstall the beta post install of the newer Release).

Thanks

Hi Richard,

A very valid point. I have passed this to development, and will get back to you,

On a related, but subtly different note

I have several PC's running the PicoScope software, including home based desktop for doing post analysis, but the version updater fails to notice a small incremental upgrade and its possibly designed to do this ... but even if not for everyone, be nice to have the option to get EVERY update, and EVERY beta - just like the ability to have / not the beta's.

It would be good to have a notification (sign up for updates by email) and to get even the most minor update notifications possible (optional of course, the options for those who only want major/bug/beta etc), of course a brief "what's new" split by feature/bugs etc would be a brilliant addition.

The auto update notifier is great but where we try to keep all our PC's aligned version wise, it's annoying to see they are not!

Thanks, as ever, just trying to get things tweaked to make it even better!!
