Version: 2.5.0 GM

We are proud to open up our Version Management Server to the public and for everyone to use, currently in an early BETA version. Not everything is feature completed and there are still some bugs to fix. This has been one of our best kept secrets and only some people have knowledge about the inside of the system.

What is it?
The Version Management lets you push version updates directly to your users, telling them about security updates and new features. Whenever a new version gets awailable all your users will be notifyed about the update and get a direct link to the download.

Why are we making this?
We are making the Version Management so your users can stay up to date with the lates and greates version of your software. It is all about the security and usabillity. Your users shouldn't need to go and look for the updates, you should send them the updates directly. That is what this is all about!

History
We started developing the Version Updater software along with the FaceFusion system, which I think you are already familiar with. It was never supposed to be two separate things systems as this should only be used to update the FaceFusion System. After making both things together things started to be a bit messy as both systems kept on growing. We separated them and found out that they would work good as stand alone systems and we could use the Version Updater System for other projects too.

The Version Updater Systems lets you create your project in our database and notify your users automatically when a new version becomes available and is ready for download.

We have been using the system both internally and externally and we are really happy with the result as it seams like it is working very well and users seams to have no problem understanding how to download the updates.

How to get started
Go to http://version.starefossen.com and take get started. It is free and awailable from today!
