RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT
A new
commercial software is being prepared. It will provide both graphical user interface
and a command-line tool. The software will be available for Linux, Mac OS X, and
Windows 7 or higher. Only Intel and compatible processors will be supported.
The Windows version will not be available from Microsoft Store and will not work in Windows 10 S.
WHY DO WE START AT VERSION
2.0.0?
In the past a data analysis tool for R-project was available
under a free license. This program is no longer distributed. It was not strictly
versioned hence we cannot easily express which version is the next one. We decided to
set the version number to 2.0.0 in order to emphasize that the commercial version will
be considerably enhanced and the software for R-project is declared
obsolete.
WHY TO BUY THE NEW
VERSION?
The program will feature new algorithms of mathematical
gnostics useful for uncertainty assessment, quality control, financial analysis, and
much more. In comparison with the old R-project software several algorithms were
improved and made more stable. Novel decision logic based on entropy is applied and
new algorithms were introduced. It is now possible to solve tasks that were not
addressed by the R-version. In addition, the software is more user
friendly.
PRICING POLICY
Our intention
is to keep moderate prices with discounts for educational institutions and free
licenses for students so that everybody can affoard to buy the license. We know that
start at version 2.0.0 breaks the semantic versioning policy. Versions 2.0.x will play
a similar role as 0.x.y defined by semver.org. We want to release version 2.0.0 soon but after thorough testing.
It means that we will not be able to incorporate immediatelly all features as promised
above and the documentation may not have high quality. As a reward to those who buy it
we will offer lower price. Every following version will be more expensive and at 2.1.0
a regular price will be reached. The price will include free updates to all versions
2.0.* and a discount for upgrade to version 2.1.0. To say it precisely, license for
version 2.0.3 and higher will be more expensive than license for version 2.0.2 and
from the release date of version 2.0.3 the previous versions 2.0.0, 2.0.1, and 2.0.2
will be taken out of the market
