previous versions? |
| We will support bug fixes back one major

bugs where there is no viable and reasonable workaround to the
bug. |

| We look to release new versions on a 12 to
18 month cycle. |
| Are releases cumulative? In other words I
am on build 003, if I download build 006 will I also get build 004
through 005? |
| Yes. |

the download url this will get you access to the full package. If
not email us and we will send you the link.

| Can I get older releases? |
| We maintain complete source control for
every build that is produced. However, we only maintain the
current build for download. |
