Samurize 1.64.3 Final - UPDATE

Tue, 03 Apr 2007 07:40:00 -0400

Unfortunately there was a significant bug in the meter maths code so an update has been released to fix this issue

Samurize 1.64.3 Final has now been released with a number of changes from the beta. The largest change is the implementation of IMAP4 support.

Not all vista problems have been fixed for this release, more fixes will come along during the coming months as more people upgrade and report problems. Currently I do not have a fully functional Vista computer so fixing these defects will be slow. I apologises for this.

Enjoy the new release

Important Information

Just little update to this story, hope everyone had a great April Fools day

------------------------------------------------

Dear Samurize users,

Regretfully the crew would like to share some sad news, due to lack of funds all future coding of Samurize will be turned over to Stardock, our current site host. With little interest these days and the release of Vista Gadgets, Samurize has fallen by the way side to more advanced, though less configurable "widget type" applications. Stardock has chosen to not host our site for free any further thus leaving us no option but to license the remaining source code to them. This decision comes on the heels of AdamC's announcement that he will no longer have time to work on this project, real life obligations have taken him away from Samurize. Adam told crew members "With the birth of my 7th child, my water ballet accident and my second part time job, I just don't have time anymore".

We will be posting more information over the next 2 weeks as to Stardocks intentions, inside sources tell us that Samurize should continue under the direction of Frogboy, one of WinCustomize's founders and lead programmers. We also believe that Shareware licenses will cost users $59.95 USD but we are pushing for less.

Thank you for the many years of support.
