Not trying to cover anything up. I just wonder... just because you don't receive emails from the beta testing group doesn't mean there isn't one. I'm not saying you were dropped from the group, I haven't received one either, but your logic isn't quite sound on that argument. I would simply think that there is no need for a "beta testing group" once a product is no longer in beta...
As I mentioned before, Kris had some personal issues to deal with. He is also working on other projects so I would not expect him to post in the
Marvin forum... He does respond to emails - as I can attest from personal experience. He is still very interested in maintaining Marvin and has accepted bug reports from me.
The latest Change log for Marvin on the
appstafarian website is August 8th, 2015.
So... your "facts" are simply your "perceptions".
Cheers!
