I have just seen on the Facebook little window of the forum that there is an offer for a 60% discount to upgrade from FF 2.0, and the reason is because

Filter Forge 4.0 will be released very soon!


What I do not understand and I am surprised is that how can it be released VERY soon if there is still not released the beta 3

what is the filter forge Inc. definition of "very soon"?

For me very soon, would be next week or in 15 days.

And this would not be possible if the beta 3 is not yet released.

Sorry, I do not want to have any reléase date, just to know what "very soon" means for FF Inc.

The latest news I have is that it would be probably released at the end of 2013, so it would be probably in december and we are now at 22 october

Exactly, you are right, its still october, and still the beta 3 has not been released so I am sorry that I have put this thread and would have never done it if I had not seen this on the facebook window.

Sorry, but I do not understand, How can it be said that FF 4.0 will be released very soon?

Unless very soon means two or three months that for me is not "very soon"

As said I am not requesting or asking to know what will be the release date, because I am not in a hurry, and do not need to know it, is just that I am very surprised to see the "very soon" on october, when still beta 3 is not available yet.

And in the screenshot below is not put that FF 4.0 Beta 3 is going to be released very soon, which is true, as far as I know is told the final version that will be released very soon.

If the marketing team stops writing things like this, users won't feel the urgency to upgrade smile:) And upgrades from 2.0 will be closed with the commercial release of 4.0.

Oh, I see and understand, this is only a marketing strategy smile:dgrin:

If then it will be no possible to upgrade from FF 2.0 I would keep more time the offer, although of course that you are the ones that know better than me what to do and how to do it.

Hello, I find the Filterforge a really successful Plugin is, but I ask myself also when 4.0 release, finally comes. I have paid the Upgrade already in January. If you do not find also already so looks as the calls to the Upgrade would be a marketing strategy smile:?: . I find I have waited long enough. Slowly it will not be supposed to run away really time if to her to you the customers smile:!: .

Well, as I have said above it can´t be possible now because the FF beta 3.0 is not released yet, and there should be at least a month after the beta 3 is released, GMM has said that Beta is near, so it could be released soon, and so I think that the final release would be possible perhaps for middle december, I am just guessing about it.

As far as I know there has been news where is put and confirmed (somewhere in the forum) that the release date will be at the end of 2013, if I am not wrong, and I always believed that this was the final date and not earlier, and considering that Beta 3 is still not available it can be this good.

Unless there are more unexpected problems and more bugs with the Filter manager and so maybe if this happens would be later perhaps.

Thus we have already if there ends November. I have paid the FF4.0 already in January, because it the hies last opportunity for the discount price. This was after everybody updates from FF to see in the start window. For me are 70 € of a lot of money and I have invested them to come soon to the pleasure of the new FF version. In the meantime, it is 11 months later and still none more a new FF. I ask myself why one then already in January for it has paid. In this way money is rinsed just also in the cash, and one can allow to a lot of time.?? This is no good strategy around customers. Sometime the patience goes out really. Thus how Long must we still wait everything? smile:?: smile:evil: smile:(

There is something that I do not understand, Why it seems that many are finding FF Inc. guilty of something they have not done? I mean that the release date is still the same as it was in January.

Also the owners of FF 3.0 have been able to use for free FF 4.0 beta since October 2012, and as far as I know I have always Since December 2012 thought that the final release will be at the end of 2013 from a news that was telling that about the release of FF 4.0, so FF Inc. is not delayed in releasing the final version, they are delayed releasing beta 3, but they are still in time for release at the end of year.

So maybe the problem is that some of you may have bought the preorder of the FULL FF 4.0 without having FF 3.0 or 2.0, thinking it would be released soon, so there could have been some mistake with this. The wise and good thing would have been to buy FF 3.0 with the discount in January and then also if wanted, buy the preorder of the upgrade and so you could enjoy and use FF 3.0 AND FF 4.0 beta all the year.
