I’m now one week into the new release of V2 of my main software package. So far I’ve had loads of downloads and no problems reported. I’ve also had some purchases from new users and some upgrades which give me confidence things are OK. I had good feedback during the beta but decided to resist the temptation to make more changes and simply went ahead and released.
The new package is 7Mb smaller to download since I decided to host the help file entirely online. All the package now contains in terms of help material are links to the online help file. I think I’m also going to try making a release without the .Net runtime. I should get the download to under 5Mb. I’ve tried this in the past. Sales did seem to drop slightly but I’m not sure this wasn’t due to the credit crunch. I’d like to give it a go again since it will reduce my hosting costs if nothing else.
I was hoping to get a bit of a breather after making the release but customers are now coming up with feature requests for the new invoice template editor. This is a good thing since they like the editor and see more potential. I could do with a bit of a break since the months running up to V2 have been busy to say the least. My Submitter package is also doing OK but that needs a push forwards. My main barrier to improving sales here is making management of directories easier and improving the speed with which I can add or update the list. I’ve started writing an improved website analyser program that should help in this area.

Thats great.
Sales is a good indicator.
I wish I was able to say the same about my K program, but I haven’t officially released it yet.
