Beta test v2.0 now closed
Primarily we want to test Videux Pro DL. If you have one of the App Store versions (i.e. Pro AS or Play LT), we should be able to make a beta for you as well but it may be another week before that is ready. Feel free to try the DL version though; the different versions can be installed at the same time.
This beta is stable and ready for use; unlike some betas you might have tried there is no experimental or unfinished code here so use with confidence.
The installation process is even simpler than it was before. Videux will now come as an "app" file; just drag it to your Applications folder. You can uninstall your previous version, i.e v1.4.0 by dragging to the trash. Not to worry; if you want to keep it around for a while that is fine or if you delete it and want to get it back, you can re-download it.
The beta version numbers will display starting as 1.5.0. There is also a build number that can be seen on the About panel. This build number is a unique number based on code changes, so it is really more accurate to use the build number when talking about versions. Once we are done with the beta and ready for release, the version number will be 2.0.0 to start.
The same licensing system is used, so if you have a current license, you shouldn't get nagged about it. If not, you should get a 7 day trial period. Let us know if you want more time for the beta.
This version will update your catalogs. Once updated, the older versions, i.e. 1.4 and earlier, won't be able to read your catalog. So, it is recommended that you back up your catalogs just in case we run into a problem. Worst case, we should be able to manually downgrade a catalog if need but but I don't think that will be necessary.
The main thing we'd like from you is FEEDBACK. Please let us know if you run into issues, don't like a feature, etc.
We expect to drop about 2 to 3 beta versions over a couple of weeks, depending on what we find. You don't need to try them all. Upgrade to the next version is really only needed if something is fixed that you want to have access to.
