But there are some excellent changes here, particularly the "all tracks the same", which, longer term at least, should make management of the software by PGM more consistent.

I shall though, still wait a little while before updating, to see howe the bug-fix rollouts go. Towards it's start, 2021 was rolling out patch versions more frequently than I was running the program. Hopefully this release will be better, though the first patch roll-out just three hours after release doesn't auger well just yet.


I think with a program that is this complex, and it is very complex, there are always going to be bugs. It is just the nature of the beast. No amount of testing will find them all. I have been coding for years and I am amazed at the things I screw up and don't find right away. I have no idea how many programmers work on this software but I am sure it is much much smaller than the "big boys" in this industry. To get a yearly release is good, to get one this year that includes a lot of new stuff is fantastic. I don't mind the patches. Even the worst issues have not made the program just not work at its base function.

The patches are free, and if you are going to upgrade the special pricing usually ends at some point, so I say, save some money and get to work! Just me of course.

Everybody is different and has their reasons, mine are not any better or worse than anyone else's I am sure. I am certainly not trying to offend.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
