Don't know if this is a bug or not

#1

Post by 515bonner »

When starting Sharpcap, I suppose it looks for new versions.
If I do a manual check for any new versions (from the help dropdown) it says I have current version.
BUT if I go to the website, I see a new release. I was running version 3.2.6062.0 but the website says the latest release is 3.2.6068.0 released on Aug 13th. Is this a bug or what? Shouldn't the software "know" there is a new release? I always like to know I am running the most current version. Running the 32bit version.
Just asking....

Hi,

Not really a bug so much as just not getting round to updating the auto update files.

I usually leave it a while after a new version is released just in case I put a silly bug in it before I make that version available in auto update. Recently I haven't got round to it though.

Cheers, Robin
