What is the .old file in the patch?

[DrRoboculous]

. . . 3.4, which is very, very stable for a beta. Many of us are using it exclusively at this point.

  I was wondering: the file that has the .old extension in the patch index for 3.4, is that the most recent stable version of the beta patches? Or what is that for? I usually download and use the newest patch that's available every day.  If that one acts up, is that what the MusicBee34_Patched.old file is for? Because I notice that file seems to be a few days or a week older than the most recent patch, which means it's not just the 2nd most recent one.
  
And: am I supposed to be using the most recent patch every day like that, or could that mess something up?
  
Finally: when would the official version 3.4 download be ready on the main download page? As you said, it seems just as stable as 3.3 at this point.



Thanks all!

I have no idea what the .old version is. And Steven doesn't necessarily issue a patch every day.

You're not "supposed" to be doing anything. The best way to know when patches are available, and what they've added/fixed, is to follow the forum. The latest patch should not mess up anything. And if it does, you can reinstall the previous patch right over the newer one.

Lastly, never ask a developer when a version is going to be released. It will be released when it is ready.

You banned me for pointing out how you’re being hostile with a user for asking a question?  Get thicker skin & grow up.

I banned you for the obnoxious posts you made

And deleted the whole post/exchange that happened?

You lost a user and gained some negative reviews. If that matters at all to you.
