He last emailed me two months ago tomorrow.  He mentioned some personal challenges that had slowed him down, but seemed fine then and quickly found the cause of a few problems I reported, so I had hoped he would have eventually released an update in the time since.  That didn't happen.

I'll check  in again.

We emailed this week again.  He's busy working on the products.

Thanks Erick.

It would be nice if Tim just posted a quick message every now and then, just giving an update.  Eg. "Working on this at the moment. Revised estimated release date is possibly...."

It's the silence, and not knowing what's going on, that is so frustrating.

It's like waiting on a package to be delivered.  When you know it's going to be x number of days or weeks then it may not be great but at least you know.  But being kept in the dark - having to check each day not knowing if today is the day, is what's really frustrating.

For me this is becoming concerning  This prolonged absence tells me something  is not right

I just received an email announcing the release of 3.02 Build 1.  I imagine everyone else received this as well.

It looks like Tim has been *very* busy as there are a lot of bug fixes!  Unfortunately there are none of the new components that were roadmapped for 3.02, which is what I have been waiting on.  I'm hoping they will come soon.

That' wonderful news. Life is pretty scary living on Planet Covid and I was starting to worry if Tim was OK.

Yep, agreed.  Covid is the first thing we all think about these days.

Word to the wise.  The new ewb was initially giving me ide errors, but updating Windows to 21H1 solved most of my issues.  I don't know if that's officially required, but it worked for me so it's possibly a good first step if you have problems.   

I still have one outstanding challenge I'm working on with Tim.  I'm optimistic that I'll be using the system shortly, and I'm enthused.  

I want to move a bunch of ewb 2.x projects forward to 3.x and was waiting for resiliance and stability.

Well I'm waiting for these so that I can actually develop some apps:

* HTML editor - native component, not a kludge.
* Treeview control
* Formal drag and drop support
* File access for browser applications
* Delphi TDataSet component set for web server database access
* Ability to execute EDB Stored Procedures within an EWB app (queries just don't cut it for me).

The lack of some of these features has been costing me sales for many months.
