Topic: Version 4 Update ?

Just wondering if there is some sort of realistic expectation of the next major Pianoteq upgrade ?

It has been almost a year since the expectation was "in the next few months" according to the FORTASTE thread.

I suppose that is why management is reluctant to give expected release dates.

No, it's just 3 months ago.... ;-)

Topic: Pianoteq 4 foretasteDear all,

Some of you have been asking about Pianoteq 4. We are currently working very hard on it and we hope to have it ready in the next few months.


02/11/2011 thru today is almost 1 year.

Re: Version 4 Update ?

These dates are formatted as dd-mm-yyyy as we are doing in europe, so 02-11-2011 means november the 2nd and that's just about 3 months ago.

Haha.

Nice confusion about day-month order. In most of Europe we always use day, month, year. Just because it makes more sense!

Hard work and guts!

You are absolutely right.  I never noticed that.   


Well, in that case, it may be a while yet.   No point in "holding my breath".

Some of us are trying to convert the rest of North America for the same reason (logic).

day/month/year goes from specific to general.

The other logical order is from general to specific:  2011/11/02 19:00hr  year/month/day/hour.

These systems are like counting 1 -2 - 3  or 3 - 2 - 1.

The NA system is like counting 2 - 1 - 3  (very logical)

Better still is the trivially different official ISO standard for date and time...

2011-11-02 19:00   (or 2011-11-02 19:00:00 of course)

For me personally a big attraction of the general arrangement is that it's ASCII sortable.

FWIW, for 'single field' data they suggest 20111102T190000

Re: Version 4 Update ?

ISO makes sense, it's just in reverse from humanly logical. But yes, it's alphabetically sortable, that's cool

Hard work and guts!

For consistency I would have expected either .... D20111101T190000 or 20111101190000, preferably the latter.
