On version 1.99

Seeing as a few people have commented "it worked on 1.99" now...

v1.99 is not coming back. The codebase is unmaintainable, I do not have the time or inclination to maintain it, and I am unable to open source it. It doesn't have the architectural features that I need for new features. Further, it was announced very early on that v1.99 would be killed off and I did ask people to test v2. Unfortunately, very few people did.

If more people had tested v2, then I'm pretty certain that all the bugs would be ironed out by now. That isn't the case. I fully intend to get v2 bug free, but that will take time. Until then, people will have to put up with bugs, because if I put v1.99 back out I won't get the bug reports I need to fix v2. To anyone who doesn't like this policy: sorry, but that's tough on you, I guess. If I could get bug reports for v2 any other way, I would. But no-one wanted to engage with the beta testing report unless they were one of the people who couldn't use v1.99.

So in summary: v1.99 is gone, and it isn't coming back.

  1. Hi, i have no idea how to make your translator work. i'm guessing once i downloaded your latest version and run the .exe it's supposed to work? It's telling me MSVCR100.dll is not there. What do i do??
