Version History

Closed Beta   August 20 to 24, 2000

After nine long grueling months of working on the program in isolation I finally released it to a few select beta testers. In this period I referred to the closed-beta version of the program as Spike.

SKYLAB Public Beta   August 25, 2000 to August 15, 2001

The early beta testers liked it so it's time to take it on the road. My code name for this period is going to be Skylab, because I listened to MP3s of a group called skylab2000 almost exclusively while writing it the past few months. (These are completely legal MP3s I downloaded from MP3.com, I hasten to add.) Download numbers are from BeBits.

PLAID Late Beta   August 16, 2001 to present

A full year of public release and I'm still not done. Hey, it's a big job! But I've finally added mostly-working binary decoding and killfiling, so I decided to start charging for it. I've named this phase after an electronic band called Plaid that is most excellent. Download numbers are from BeBits.
