There was a time last year, when BitComet (the organization) essentially turned its back on the West. This is understandable due to the way they'd been treated, but the existing support forum was entirely closed down.

In that period, and really, long prior to it, new products were announced not on the forum, but on the individual product web sites.

That has not changed, as a company policy, as far as I know. First announcement of a new product version release is made at the product web site. Further, the product web site is the definitive word about whether a release is out or not -- what the latest release is.

I have seen people referring to a 1.16 beta release as 1.17, when it was not. BTW, all BitComet releases so far have been betas. Version 1.00 was NOT a gamma, gold master, or final release. It was one more beta and the version number was forced by the numbering scheme.

So a 1.16 beta is not, as you'd expect, an advance release of 1.16 (itself a beta), but a subsequent release of 1.16.

I expect everyone to be properly confused by now. If you are not, please report to Cassie for mental rebooting. She has this hammer...
