4.9.29
 

I have the 4.9.28 version. What's different about the .29? Would there be much of a difference if I upgraded my LimeWire or should I just stick with what I have for now?:)

I'm not sure if they've updated the page but see http://www.limewire.com/english/cont..._history.shtml
I updated from 4.9.28-9 without any concerns. :)

It would be nice if there was an announcement page or something in the forums that could be used soleley for announcements of all new versions and the modifications.

I notice that the LW site features history has been updated to include .29 but there was no notification of the update (which I selected in preferences). I updated excitedly hoping to find the download priority feature you said there was lotr and I've found it! that's cool.

and it's not listed in the features history :mad:

Service announcements
 

You can check service announcements in options, under updates. Limewire will tell you when one comes out.

It wasn't sent to you?

There is a post from zab in the link below that will answer your question. And it is behaving pretty good for me.

No ...It wasn't ... I don't mind. The thing is how do the users who never come near the forums, which is most of them .... know about updates if they don't get notified? I guess it might take a few days for the messages to be put out.


Regarding the options /preferences > updates... what exactly is a "Service Release"


Main thing is 4.9.29 apprears to be running just fine.

Re: what is a service release
 

When they go from 4.9.28 to 4.9.29 or 4.8.0 to 4.8.1
Major release would be 4.8.1 to 4.9 or 4.9.29 to 5.whatever
I believe betas are the first release of a major release. Kind of a tester release.

If I am wrong, anyone, please correct me, because I'm really pulling this out of my @$$:D :D

Ok ... Beta's are the releases for the foolhardy explorers to use. They are the prototype versions complete with bugs and will go on being produced until the bugs are ironed out and a version appears that is not going to cause the normal user [much] problem :)

Major releases are the finished product for the normal user to use. (Ithink)

I can't quite suss out what defines the service release.

So 4.9.29 may not be the Major release I thought it was ... maybe it is a service release.

I practiced what I preach and did a search, but came up with some pretty interesting posts from 3 years ago instead so I still haven't got the answer.

Various Releases
 

Well Guys

I don't really mind whether various releases of LW(Pro) are major, minor or service I'm just glad to see the back of Ver. 4.9.28, it has been the most unstable release I have ever installed.

search results are confusing to me as well
 

Yeah, I did one too. No luck, but I did figure out I really was talking out of my @$$. Beta releases have come out with many different version numbers. Is there anyone who could clear this up for us?

mntravier I think we've all given up! :D the best suggestion is to look at the features history on the Limewire website, which gives you a rough idea how the numbering system works..

I just wanted to know which option was best to select for notification ... I think I'll go for service... for now :)

I need coffee :)
