Is it possible to have some sort of online change log.

The last two updates don't appear to have any info on what has changed. The release notes seem to pertain just to 4.0 and not in the latest case 4.065.

Thanks

Twitter is fine I guess ... for those using twitter. I am wondering why the TopStyle changelog would not be on the TopStyle web site ... just a thought :wink:

You can bring up TopStyle's Twitter page from withing the product itself: View > News, then click the Twitter icon on the toolbar.

The Twitter page is polluted with posts about all sorts of subjects, and many aren't in English. So, finding a list of changes for a release is difficult. This translates to me to "I don't care if I sell anything."

Overall, it seems to me that development of TopStyle is stagnant, at best. This is the impression I've gotten from everything I've been able to see here.

That was my free feedback on your marketing. And who's behind "your", anyway? I am on some htmlvalidator.com forum posting about a product called TopStyle. There's a lot of room for improvement in the marketing area for this company (Is there a company? Is this someone's pet project? I don't know.)

TopStyle development is not stagnant. As a matter of fact, TopStyle 5 is planned for 2010. Also, I'm frequently releasing bug fixes.

That's good to know, but the results of your efforts are hard to find. No business is likely to succeed without adequate marketing efforts.

I'm doing the best I can, but in the end, I'm running a single guy shop with limited time and resources.

Anyway, whenever a new update is available and TopStyle prompts you about it, you can actually see the change list before you decide to download and install it. Simply click the "More Info" button.
