Today I had a situation where an upgrade to V2 existed and I didn't know it was there. It was quite frustrating when it was on the site and I didn't know to "search" for it!

Is there anyway that a system can be implimented in which e-mails can be automatically sent when an update is released??

At the very least, workshop versions should be able to do this but it should really be global for all users.

With the every changing updates and firmwire changes, I don't want to be behind with my software and have the issue I had today.

Do we have any options??:master:

Thanks

A subscription service, where you can register (free) to receive update notifications will be available as soon as we can implement it.

Yeah that or something that checks the latest version on the server and notifies the user an update is available

Paul,

Can you be more vague! LOL!!!!:bash:

We know you guys have been busting your ass's this year with all the new stuff. I just think that a function like this will save a lot of BS posts and "issues" that can be resolved by having current software.

Please keep us posted as its a must have feature!

Thanks

One other thing that is being implemented is that the PC software will check the firmware in FlashScan (and Autocal) and will prompt the user to update the firmware if a newer version of firmware is available.

I have to be vague, if I give a date you all hold me to it :bawl:

How about having an "updates" thread that is locked (so only you can post to it), we all subscribe to the post to receive notifications, next time you release an update you just add a post to the thread ? (we all get notified)

Quick and easy as an interim?

Just a thought

Good thought. Also considering a News Letter subscription type thing also.

I personally don't want to go looking for the updates. Not lazy but busy!

Getting an E-mail would be the best!

Have created THIS THREAD (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=4442) so that you can subscribe and be notified as soon as software updates are made available.

Great suggestion Happy Jim :cheers:
