The Announcement
This was really unexpected for us and it caught us with pants down. Given the small time frame of 2-3 month, the decision was made to feature freeze 2.0 and begin working towards the Mac App Store guidelines.
State Of The Hero
Here we are now 4 days before opening and Warranty Hero 2 has finally gotten its approval after a view hiccups. It will be available with the Mac App Store launch on January 6th 2011. We are introducing it for $14.99 US.
Upgrading & Existing Users
Please understand that the Mac App Store restrictions required lots of changes to the programs code, such as leaving out the update mechanism to name an example. Maintaining and testing two separate builds would consume to much time and resources.
To not hinder the development progress we have decided to make Warranty Hero 2 available in the Mac App Store only. That means you will not receive it thru automatic software update.
We are honestly sorry that we have not enough resources to deliver it as free update and hope you can understand that and give us a second chance on the Mac App Store.
Updating In General
Just make sure you are running the most current version(1.5.2) before getting the new version from the Mac App Store. Please be aware if you choose to get it right away, the 2.0 version does currently not support medicinals and you would temporarily loose that ability.
After 12 month of crazy work we cant´t wait to hear your feedback for the new version!
