Title: Avast 6.0 Update Notification Notice Roll-Out Schedule?
Post by: Jack 1000 on February 25, 2011, 08:03:22 PM: Dear Avast team,

What is the planned update pop-up notification roll-out for Avast 6? Are you going to be doing another 6.XX or two before the notifications? I know Avast 5 had about a 24 hour release time with updates spread out over 7 days to minimize server overload. Can we expect the same with version 6, or say a longer 1-2 month window because of the version being brand new?

It seems the manual rollouts are doing great! MUCH better than when Avast 5 was first introduced! How long will version 5 be available?

Jack

I miss 4.8 and the ability to skin the GUI, I especially miss the LCARS skin :'(

It would be nice if they put in a popup so people could confirm the were installing a whole new version before it took off installing.

Thanks

Post by: Lisandro on February 26, 2011, 01:51:10 AM: Vlk, why is it so slow?
Why didn't you drop version 4.8? Why the business versions is taking so long?

If you can disclose these informations, of course.

Post by: Rednose on February 26, 2011, 02:21:05 AM: I don't know either why. But there is a time schedule, and I think we should trust on that :)

Post by: Lisandro on February 26, 2011, 02:24:24 AM: It's not a matter of trust. Not at all.
Curiosity, trying to understand the software development, understand the company and the market, it's more a personal desire of me, trying to learn and grow at avast forums.
