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

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.

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 @$$

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.

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.
