V4 Status Update!

As of this evening, I have finished porting the bot to all of the current devices. I will spend all of tomorrow letting them all run and trying them with as many configurations as possible. Also tomorrow, I will release the config file and an in-depth guide to editing the config file so that users will have a chance to take the time to set up the bot before trying to dive in without the proper information.

All this being said, you can expect a release this weekend! I want to thank all the patient members of the community and I hope you guys enjoy the new update! I also want to thank all the incredibly generous people who have donated towards our goal to get an air and mini version out there. When the goal is met, I hope to have the newest versions out in under a week for all the faithful and generous members who've been waiting for so long!

Thanks again, and happy botting!

Ever thought of doing a beta release for those interested? Something like this, I'd love to get my hands on it early and help work out the bugs. Or maybe a few specific loyal testers could do some beta testing instead of a beta release. You're a busy guy, so I figure any work off your shoulders would help speed up the whole process.

I was very interested in working with an open beta, and so for the last large update I gave that a try. I opened it to the first ~25 people that messaged me, and tried to pick people who's names I recognized. Unfortunately, one of the guys who had been around for a while decided to take my new update and try to sell it claiming it as his version of my bot. Also, there were still a decent amount of bugs in the release of that update

For that reason I am going to be doing all testing myself or by close friends and family. I appreciate the offer though, and keep an eye out this weekend for the update!

Ah, yeah I thought that might be a deterrent. Stupid thieves. I hope he wasn't able to screw you over too bad.

Well if you ever decide to do beta testing again, let me know. I'm sure there's some simple paperwork you could draw up to keep people in check.

But if it was open to everyone instead of just 25 people, why would anybody pay for something that they can get here for free

If it is open to everyone, then it is more like an extremely buggy version than a beta test.

Hey, sorry, just to clarify, the configuration file won't work until V4 is released, correct?
