Guys, this is just another open source software (a superb one).  Let's all 
understand what we doing here.  Those developers who dedicate their time 
(time=life) to writing this code and making it available to you and me are not 
doing it because they are great friends of ours or that they owe us something.  
They are doing it because they love the product they are developing and they 
want the world to benefit from it (and other reasons I am sure).

Let's not be so demanding as to suggest that if they take too long to put a 
release out, we are going to fire them.

They do have a donation link and they also have a way for us to fund the 
implementation of features.  If you feel strongly that releases should happen 
in a timely manner, then fund that.  If you feel strongly that a feature should 
exist, then fund that!  Other than that, all we can do as users of this product 
is to spread the word as to how good it is, keep using it and assist in helping 
others with their problems on this list.  Not to pester them about adding 
features and the like.  Do I agree with everything in the product and how it is 
implemented? No. But you can never find any product that everyone likes and 
agrees with.  All I can do is support the product by using it, and support the 
developers by funding them and if I can't fund them, then tell the what a good 
job they are doing once in a while.

Thanks for listening.

Good words Aria.

Guys, i already donated $100 to one of the new functions which will be included 
in this release and this is way i was asking this question - i just can't wait 
to start using it. I didn't want to mention it like this but  Aria, who 
probably never donated a cent to OSS, is trying to make me a troll here..

Excellent then! Is this the release with the multiple accounts feature that I donated to as well (I forget how much)? Cause we are also very excited about that feature. Although I am assuming that it will still need some beta testing before we release to our real users. ;-)

But I do not think her words were necessarily directed at you personally as much as to anyone in the list that might forget the enormous benefits of OSS and the option to help pay the developers.

FWIW, I think once 6.2 is out, we can ALL really help by providing some detailed test reports if we see any problems. Good testing and detailed problem reports are so important and not easy to do.

Have a great week everyone.
