Issues with website registrations
I want to give you all a short note that we recently identified problems with our website registration.
More precisely, the issues are related to the confirmation mail and our hosts mail server become blacklisted on a regular base without the hoster taking the appropriate measures to get it unlisted again.
As a consequence, we will soon move our website to a new hoster which gives us more control over the mail send as well as control over the other side verification mechanisms, so we can ensure that we do not get blacklisted again.
The new host will also offer us more flexibility and options in relation to the weblanguages and services we can offer and we intend to make use of them in the website upgrade that is in work.
As soon as we have more to share, you will be the first to hear about it.

The summer is here and so is the summer sale
As every year, it was unavoidable, that it will happen again.
I think you know what I mean, its SUMMER, the only time in the year where even computer focused people are lose control over their desire to go outside.
None the less, many of us still need or want to drive their projects further and making them more accessable to their customers and for those, I'm here with good news.
To celebrate the summer, we are joining the here common ritual of summer sales and offer PatchLaunch on sale with a 33% price reduction for a limited amount of time.
If price was a reason for you to not buy it so far, then this is your chance.
I would also like to use the chance to let all know that the most prefered feature for the next feature expanding release as per our poll is a stronger compression through LZMA and we are looking forward to make it happen.
We understand the need for as little traffic as possible on the host end, because every kb download means a kb less left from our included traffic, so LZMA will be a great option for media heavy applications, especially games, which are using our technology.

PatchLaunch and beyond
PatchLaunch and the Community
Our users opinion has always been very important to us but the users opinion never was as important and impacting as it is for PatchLaunch.
We are currently conducting a poll among the PatchLaunch licensees to find out which feature set addition is considered the more important and/or beneficial one among a set of potential new features. The feature(s) that make the race will become available with PatchLaunch 1.1, the next release in development right now.
Our long term plan is it to have at least all features mentioned on the PatchLaunch Roadmap beeing added in future versions.
This list is not something that is set in stone, which allows us to adapt to upcomming requirements and requests and expand or modify the list to provide the best possible product to our licensees.
Beyond PatchLaunch
PatchLaunch isn't the only thing on my mind at the time.
I have been working on and refining a game concept for quite some time now that I intend to bring to life on the iPhone, as the iPhone input possibilities suite the concepts needs the best.
I will keep you up to date on the progress of this game, here as well as my twitter ( http://www.twitter.com/gayasoft )

PatchLaunch 1.0.1 released
We are proud to inform you and all licensees that PatchLaunch 1.0.1 has been finished.
The download is available to all licensees in the private download area.
PatchLaunch 1.0.1 refines the documentation and expands the documentation and fixes bugs in the patcher.
We have also worked on the compatibility of the Patcher with specific webhosts, on which the Patcher potentially had problems.
This compatibility is related to the bug which we mentioned on our last blog on which we were working.
With 1.0.1 out we will continue with our work on PatchLaunch 1.1 which will add new things to the plate.
One thing we strongly consider for 1.1 is replacement of the current compression with the powerfull LZMA / 7z compression to lower the traffic for the webhost and speed up the patching process. Currently we are planning out how to integrate it, which features we would expose to the user control wise and are preparing test scenarios to see how large the gain actually would / will be.

PatchLaunch 1.0.1 Progress
Hello to todays progress update.
This will be a rather short blog, intend to keep you updated with PatchLaunch 1.0.1s progress.
The new bugfix and refinement release is progressing nicely towards its completition.
There is only one last point on my to do list to clear for this release.
This remaining point is a bug related to a http request problem against specific servers that are causing problems when the patcher is attempting to retrieve the patch files.
As the http header itself isn't the problem, I am not able to give you an estimate on when this issue is fixed, but the target is "as soon as possible".
Other than this bug, especially refinements of existing features and the documentation were part of 1.0.1
