A new release of ReefMaster v2 is available, please update via the Check for Updates button.

Fixes include:

• Fixed import issues with some Humminbird sonar log files.
• Fixed crash in palette editor when editing palettes with more than 12 colours.
• Updated licensing binaries.
• Fixed raster mode AT5 export issue.

Thank you Matt.

Update installed. Thanks.

It has been quiet for quite some time with updates to the Reefmaster software. On the one hand, never change a running system. On the other hand, no updates means the software is stagnant!?

I understand that if the revenue from the software is virtually at a standstill, the motivation to continue development is not high.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with charging a fee for a subsequent release and charging an annual fee from that release onwards. With a decent annual fee there remains a source of income and therefore hopefully also the motivation to develop further.

Another idea could be to further develop in some kind of community. That also gives space. Those who have a software background (I think there are among the users) are happy to help with construction.

Hi Guido,
It has been a while, you are right, but things are moving again now. You are also right about the revvenue model - one-off perpetual licensing for a niche product is not conducive to continued development.
I hope to be able to say more soon!
Matt

Keep my fingers for next RM version!

I would pay for the updates or main upgrades.

Really looking forward to it Matt.

Keep us all posted. I get real value from RM.

Hi Matt,

It stays quiet for a while. We have seen this with DrDepth in the past. Long time quiet and then... It was sold to Humminbird, I think good for Per Pelin, but not for the users. I don't know why, but I have a similar feeling. You are going to sell to Navico, Garmin or .... Ofcourse we all grant you to get a good benefit for all your efforts. But we also like the continuity of the product.

I hope I'm wrong about this.

Best regards,

Guido

No such luck!
