(new to Copfilter? Here is the Introduction) |
2008 12 11 06:58
The next version will be released in January 2009.
2008 07 08 07:22
It has been a very long time since the last update. This is because I was very busy with the university I am attending. My studies are not over yet, but since a few copfilter users asked on how they could speed up the development and also made some donations, I now feel even more obligated to at least update the included programs. So its time to tell you that I am indeed working on a new version (with the great help of some copfilter forum users) with the latest program updates. No date yet, but it will be available as soon as it is finished.

Today my studies at a local university will begin (in 6h 51min 8-) which will mean that I can't dedicate
all of my spare time to Copfilter anymore, my responses to the forum or via email could also take a bit
longer than usual :-( BUT of course I will still try to do my best
for example currently I'm trying to to implement greylisting and hopefully resolve these bugs soon
Even though development, bug resolving and responses etc might eventually become slower
I will still go on with Copfilter :-))
