MemberTies is always being updated. We tend to keep a monthly or quarterly release cycle, depending on need. There are several things that can trigger a new release:
•Errors/Bugs -- If someone encounters an error and reports it, we will find the problem as soon as possible and release a fix. If the issue is critical (such is something that could impact your data) we will release an immediate update. If the issue is not critical or only occurs in certain situations, the fix will go into the next update package.
•Suggestions -- If you are in the software and think, "if only it worked this way instead," let us know. Explain what you're doing and how it could be improved, and we'll log the suggestion for consideration. If the change won't negatively impact other users, it is very likely that we will implement it.
•Feature Requests -- Many features in the software are the direct result of users' requests. Nobody knows your needs better than you do, so if you think of something that would be really useful, let us know. If we think it is viable and would benefit others, we'll build it into the program and it will become part of an update.
The "Check for Updates" Login preference controls how often the system checks to see if a new version is available, and whether updates can be installed automatically. If an update is found to be available, a window will open and display the available update so you can choose whether to download it.
