[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1302067, member: 141969"] It seems to be true [i]for the present[/i]. Development of MP2 may restart in the future, but no one other than the MP2 developers know when that might be. As far as I know, there were no disagreements amongst the MP2 developers; it is simply that the demands of real life had to take precedence, leaving little or no time to devote to MP2. Both MP1 and MP2 are open source [i]volunteer[/i] projects. As such, they will never provide the level of support that paid-for products can provide. In addition, developers work on the parts of the product that interest them, and don't work on the parts of the product that don't interest them. This can result in patchy support, but this is inevitable in a volunteer project. Choosing to use an open-source product means accepting these aspects of product support. MP2 is not going to disappear from the internet, but for the moment it will not progress. You can continue to use it until it no longer satisfies your needs, but you will have to accept that bugs and functional limitations will remain as they are for the foreseeable future. :( -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
