The announcement linked above says: " Why am I adding this to Ardour? -------------------------------------- * better data on how much Ardour is actually used * better idea of the balance between OS X and Linux platforms * a way to alert users that new versions are available " Being able to announce upgrades is a nice side effect, but I don't think it's the main goal. The far more valuable point is getting anonymous statistics about Ardour's usage to plan a better development. -- Emanuele Rusconi _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
