Hello Rusty,
will the MMW still publish on 4.1.32.1920?

That's unlikely as MediaMonkey 5 replaces MediaMonkey 4. A new MediaMonkey 4 release may come if a critical issue were to crop up, otherwise the development of MediaMonkey continues with MediaMonkey 5.0.2.

But that's strange.
Three bugs were fixed for the 1920 version.

Publish this last beta version. thanks

So for them MM4 is already dead !!!

MediaMonkey is the product and is being developed, the latest release for MediaMonkey is 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 is in Alpha testing.

Sometimes bug fixes in MediaMonkey 5 do get pushed to MediaMonkey 4 if they're a low risk fix, but MediaMonkey 4 is replaced with MediaMonkey 5 and development resources are spend on MediaMonkey 5.

If there is ever a need to release a new MediaMonkey 4 release due to a critical issue the fixes will be included.

Too bad, as long as MM4 works, I'll use it.
After that I have to look for other software.

Wish you the best of luck with MM5.

I'm sticking on 4 as long as I can. I tried a non-beta of MM5 recently, and it corrupted some album art on some files I was updating.

I should report it, but the fact that is, it scared me off for a long while from going in, especially with so many extensions missing.

Yes, you should report this and capture this in a debug log (step 4b) as it would be serious: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643

Attach it to a Support Ticket and it will help a developer analyze why this happens in your setup.

What does that mean?

Are you saying that MM5 could have a bug(s) that cause the developers to be suspicious of a possible similar
problem in MM4 based on being related to similar functionality?
(I don't mean the coding is exactly the same)

Or, are you saying that on rare occasion a bug in MM4 could be critical enough to focus more
attention on, temporarily, than any current (at the time) bug in MM5?

Part of the code base is shared. So a fix would work on both versions. However it seems unlikely that MM4 gets any new release, as MediaMonkey 5 is the next release for it.

Hi,
Shortly said, some bugs that affects MM4 and can be merged back with MM4 they are added/included to MM4 source in case we decide to publish another MM4 build.

Note this will happen only if MM4 core functionality is so severely broken and can't be fixed otherwise than releasing new build.

One of examples is iOS 15 Support in MM4 which was fixed by releasing separate MM4 addon instead of releasing new Beta version, because core functionality was not affected.
