Stupid IS as stupid DOES!
Okay, so now you and/or FreeWorm have gotten around to making a change in the verbage on the page you linked to previously. Too bad you didn't think of doing that before providing the link orginally.
The announcement might work for those people who visit your site, but even then not like it would IF the anouncement more appropriately read, "Upgrade to v1.23".
You people want to downplay this as a minor correction. That works for you (meaning whomever is the actual developer of the program), because it minimizes the flaw. In my opinion, any proxy analyzing software that cannot correctly identify a transparent proxy from an anonymous one is not minimal, it's major!
Your announcement does absolutely nothing to notify all those people currently using v1.22 prior to 12/29/07 who didn't obtain the program directly. So again, without changing the version number, you have accomplished nothing and I intend on continuing with my efforts to take Proxyfire out of use as a viable proxy checker every chance I get and everywhere I go until the version number is changed.
You guys want to play the stubborn game? Game on!
Anyone who has used a computer for more than a week understands that when a software developer makes a change in said software, it is done by changing at least the build number if used (they aren't in Proxyfire's case) or the version number. It doesn't make how insignificant the change(s) are, this is the way it's done. That's what people have been taught to look for. Nothing else does the job!
Please write nothing further about this here until you have a link to v1.23.
