Is GeSWall dead?

Hi,

If you use Pro version you can use wizard to generate the right rules to let you use your favorites

MaB

 

Ya, u can install a trial of Pro version, run the wizard ans see if it is able to create proper rules.

 

Just noticed on a friends computer that geswall 2.6 has a license that expires in 12-12-07, a few days from now. Hope 2.7 is released soon.

One week has passed and still no reply from Brian. I'm thinking that aigle might be one of his favorites, which is why he replied the email

 

No, it,s not like this but it,s a fact that i have extensilvely tseted GW since more than a year and sent a lot of bug reports, suggestions etc.

BTW i did get another mail from him.

Long winded way of agreeing that you are one of his favourites... lol.

That is why I'm always wary of people who have established relationships with vendors (beta-testers, members of the team, moderators of product boards, people who have in the past proved helpful with comments etc), they always talk about how quick the vendors respond to them and use that as evidence that support will be quick for everyone....

For obvious reasons, vendors tend to be quicker off the mark responding to people like that.......

 

It's very bad for their reputation if they keep ignoring users like that. Maybe aigle can pass the word to Brian?

 

Actuallt I even don,t know him and obviously they don,t know me excpet for e-mail exchange between us.

As far as support is concerned I have never said that support will be very good. It was ofcourse good for me. Responding quickly to persons/ users who have a long time e-mail exchange is very natural.

Infact if I remember well I was also one of them who raised the suspision publically about possible end of GW here on wilders( in some of my posts). I even posted a thread about this on their forums but it aws deleted. I tried to PM the Mod but PMs were disbaled.

Anyway I am still doubtful about their future. Comapnies may not remain so silent even if they are undergoing major changes. Only time will tell the truth.

 

I agree and and will see if I can convey to him but I think they must be knowing it already.

Actually I am also not getting all my mail replied. Some are being replied, some not and the replies are also not detailed like in the past.

 

I brought this to the notice of Brian and he has sent the following link to me.

I did post it to Brian but unfortunately no comments by him about this!

 

Great news, aigle!

At least this shows that GeSWall is still under development. Can't wait for January to come though ^^

Probably just me but I feel that they are avoiding this topic on purpose.

 

At last they responded a bit.

Just a little update:

The installation packages with expanded license are available for
download now:

Normally, upgrade should be sufficient to fix license issue.

 

Thanks aigle, I noticed them and already downloaded one that includes the expanded license which I think will expire now until June.
