Does the bug i mentioned above exist in v2.0?
Only in 2.03 and 1.4a. Earlier versions don't have the problem, but they also don't have the security fix.
Which, honestly, I don't really see how it could be exploited, but better be safe than sorry.
The problem with preparsecode() is that this thing is not properly documented by SMF. We're supposed to use it but then they don't tell why and how. And Aeva Media is based on early code by Dragooon, who did things differently (in a safe way, too), but this conflicts with preparsecode(). Really, it's just as easy as that. I need to look into it a bit more. I'm kinda stuck on my other free project right now, see. I'll try to release an update by tomorrow.
Is the viewing bug on videos fixed also?
You mean view count? It's not a bug per se...
At this point in the game, i'll begrudgingly buy the software if it means i actually get some support, lol
Well, as I always say: I'm not begging for anyone's money. If you buy the 2.x branch expecting a bug fix, you'll be disappointed because I committed myself to backporting to 1.x any bug fix I'll put into 2.x. (Well, "committed" is a big word... Let's just say if it's easy enough to fix a bug, I'll backport it. If it's a complicated mess to fix, then 1.x users will have to live with it, but so far I've seen no such problem.)
I don't and never have needed the extra functions of v2.0, i just need the free version to actually be 'bug free' :/
Again: not a bug.
$20 is a reasonable price to me, only thing that's always put me off is the limited 1 year support, doesn't sound like a good deal to me, what does that actually mean anyway?
It just means you lose access to the private boards after a year. Meaning you can't download new updates and ask questions. But you can use the 2.x branch forever on your site, obviously.
Does it mean no more help on bugs / problems after a period of 1 year; after 365 days i have to pay another $20 just to get some useful information / advice from your time?
Well, you can always try SMF Gallery Pro. It's only $50 per year. Oh, add $30 for the video component. So, it's only $80 per year, sorry. It's still a very cheap deal. The crappy software, I mean, not the price.
How would you know how long i've actually had the product for?
It's indicated in your profile.
I suspect you'd probably just release v3 and discontinue support for v2 i guess.
Well, I would have to reach v3 to begin with.... And I don't see why I would do that. I've been working on AeMe for over 2 years, and made it a great product. 99% of its features are free. I'm selling the remaining 1%. Actually, I'm not selling them, I'm offering them to donating users. I don't like calling my users 'customers', really. If you don't want to donate for the pleasure you got from the free software, then you don't have to, but you won't have the extra features I'm offering to honest users.
All I'm asking for is not your money but your respect.Just don't treat me like Akyhne or some of the SMF teamies do, and I'll be happy enough to keep releasing updates. Albeit less frequently than before -- I didn't have that other project on my hands until a few months ago.
