It was going to be sometime in Jan.
As you may be aware it is now March.
Things move very slowly on here so the only advice I can give you is " DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH "
i do love the way version 12 beta looks though
and good advice unless it is given to a swimmer anyway
lol i am not though
i'm not wierd, i'm just different
any news on the official release date of v12 of the platform yet
i can't wait
also i am waiting for more platform updates as i have heard that new features are going to be added
also i can't wait because it is way overdue for v12 to come out
i thought it was supposed to come out in january
as we have noticed it is now almost april
i'm not wierd, i'm just different
Even the promised weekly updates never seem to come. Glad you took my advice about not holding your breath.
i was hoping ^^ would answer my question that is y it was directed towards him
and yes i am glad i did take ur advice
but i was really hoping that John T. Haller would answer!!!
but so far he hasn't even talked in this thread
i'm not wierd, i'm just different
He's probably read the thread but hasn't thought of an excuse yet.
It will be ready in the near future when it is solid enough for beta release. The internal build has a re-written updater which solves the issue with collisions between the auto-update and manually checking for updates, gets update checks down from around 11 seconds to under 1 seconds due to a rewritten app existence check, decreases update database download bandwidth by adding a zipped download as well as caching the database between uses so it only uses 43 bytes to check, has the search box always visible, and adds rudimentary support for SSH proxies via CURL.
As stated previously, I have been otherwise occupied with working as PortableApps.com is still a money-losing venture. As such, I am paying for the privilege of working on the platform, keeping the website up and updating all the apps out of my own pocket.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
"PortableApps.com is still a money-losing venture."
Most free things are. Kinda by definition.
Change the business model to $1/app download and/or $1/app update.

Open Source businesses are a tough thing as you cant really just charge people and keep thing open sourced. One of the posibilities is to create enough revenue in donations or only work part time on open source stuff and make money the rest of the day.
