Sean Harrison Posted January 5, 2023 at 04:11 AM Posted January 5, 2023 at 04:11 AM Hi my Swift application is counting down to expiry, started at 28days! How do I stop it expiring? Sean C1/O P3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted January 5, 2023 at 04:18 PM Posted January 5, 2023 at 04:18 PM Hi Sean, you will have to update to our latest version. You should do this every time a new version gets published as some critical improvements may have been implemented. I highly suggest using our Alpha releases. I use them all the time, no issues. https://github.com/swift-project/pilotclient/releases Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Harrison Posted January 5, 2023 at 07:13 PM Author Posted January 5, 2023 at 07:13 PM Thanks Andreas, I’ve hit the check for updates several times since it is popping up, but it says you have current version. I’ll DL and reinstall. Thanks. Sean C1/O P3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted January 5, 2023 at 07:27 PM Posted January 5, 2023 at 07:27 PM I think the detection/download function does not work for Alpha versions. In case that you use Discord, I recommend joining our support server. That's the fastest way of finding out about new releases. 1 Cheers, Andreas Member of VATSIM GermanyMy real flying on InstagramMy Twitch streams of VATSIM flights and ATC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Ferraz Posted January 7, 2023 at 09:25 AM Posted January 7, 2023 at 09:25 AM If the Alpha is working so well, why wasn't it upgraded to beta? If I refuse to use an Alpha version, I'll have to stop using Swift? On 1/5/2023 at 5:18 PM, Andreas Fuchs said: I highly suggest using our Alpha releases. I use them all the time, no issues.

Andreas Fuchs Posted January 7, 2023 at 01:20 PM Posted January 7, 2023 at 01:20 PM (edited) Lack of manpower. PS: 4 hours ago, Raul Ferraz said: If I refuse to use an Alpha version, I'll have to stop using Swift? You can happily use the latest BETA as well. It's just that it will usually lack behind development a little bit. We don't push unreliable DEV-versions to ALPHA. Hence we recommend using ALPHAs for swift. BETAs are fine, too, because they are actually ALPHAs pushed to BETA-status, when a new DEV-version has been tested and recommended for release.

Raul Ferraz Posted January 7, 2023 at 03:26 PM Posted January 7, 2023 at 03:26 PM I can use the beta for 25 more days, because as stated in the opening topic, it will expire @Andreas Fuchs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Fuchs Posted January 7, 2023 at 03:32 PM Posted January 7, 2023 at 03:32 PM Yes, I know. I will forward the information to our DEV-team. As far as I am aware we have a DEV-version that should be pushed to ALPHA-status pretty soon, so the current ALPHA will become the new BETA. I personally haven't used a BETA in years, because I am either on a DEV-version or I use an ALPHA. Even if you do not feel comfortable with ALPHAs, in the case of swift you can do so without issues, I never had any problems.

Andreas Fuchs Posted January 7, 2023 at 04:00 PM Posted January 7, 2023 at 04:00 PM Addendum: the DEVs have announced Quote Unofficially, 0.12.48 is beta quality, but we'll make sure there's an official beta release before the expiry date. They are aware of the expiry date and will release a new BETA in due time.
