Getting notified when updates are available

[Paul Bienick]

I was just about to post a bug report when I discovered an update to SD3 was available. The update not only fixed the bug, but included a bunch of nice enhancements. I only wish I knew it had been sitting there since March 18. Maybe I’m just missing it but is there any way to get notified when updates become available?

We notify our users via e-mail, and you can check the Toontrack product manager regularly. We have a point on our todo list to incorporate a notification within the software itself, to alert when new updates are available. We have lots to do at the moment with bug fixes etc., we’ll see if, and in that case when, we can add it to an update… Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks, Henrik. Just an email would be fine as I’d rather not have to continually check the Product Manager, but I never got an email about the upgrade. Sure, I might have missed it, or it might have wound up in my spam folder, but that’s unlikely as all other emails from Toontrack, including the notification for your response, came through. But no matter – if you say you’re sending emails then that’s good enough for me! Forget the notifications in the software itself and go fix those bugs. 🙂

Thanks again.

@Henrik Also, would you please include the release notes for the updates in the notifications? By the way, I don’t recall ever getting an email about an update. I have 30 Toontrack products, and I’m always wondering when I perform an update if it includes fixes, enhancements, or new features. For example, I just noticed updates for EZkeys Classic Electrics, and EZkeys Small Upright Piano. I looked here: https://www.toontrack.com/release-notes/release-notes-ezkeys/ and there is no mention of the core midi update.

I generally check the app at least once a week when I hook my studio computer to the internet, so I found out about updates that way, but I also say I don’t recall ever getting an email about an update.

I subscribe to the Announcements thread and receive automatic emails from the forum about updates when they’re posted.

Occasionally there is a short delay between products being available to download and the announcement being made. This is usually intentional to allow a period to assess any immediate problems with the download. Apologies if this causes confusion. The release notes are now available.

Assuming you’ve sent or are planning to send an email notification about this release, this will be a good test to see if that system is working. So far, no email, but I’ll be on the lookout for it.
