Why do you call this release "final"? It's not like the PC Tools Firewall is it?

 

Got it. Thanks for the heads up.

 

updating to get it
thx for info

 

No, final is also used for official, out of beta releases.

 

because 5.0.673 is release candidate and now 5.0.677 its final stable release..

 

Got it! Thanks for the heads up.
Upgrade went very well, with reboot required.

 

Okay. Right day, wrong universe.
I thought 'final' meant 'last'.

 

Ha ha, "final stable release" could mean that there will only be unstable releases from now on.

Thanks for the info!

 

5.0.673 its also stable release but rc

 

rebooted and updated to latest release

 

Thanks PnP for update. Downloading....
