Matt 2.2

We’re very proud to announce the final release of Matt 2.2, a full year in the making since the last major release. This version includes dozens of enhancements ranging from DSLR support to the new facial hair module (which we could never quite get to work in previous revs). The knowledge base has been expanded, though it’s still a bit light on the experience benchmark. We’ve also fixed that bug that was around since about 1.7 where it thought the knowledge base was already full. Now it knows more, but knows it knows less. Short-term RAM is still a little flakey. Email processing is also still slow, but the “piano” and “reading” plugins have come a long way. This version also runs without a support contract from a major corporation. Most people surveyed agreed this was a solid upgrade, but we know there’s a lot of work left to do still. We hope to continue listening to feedback and keep up the regular release schedule.

    Well, happy birthday, then! How much time do you actually have to play piano these days with all you do? And you’re a sax player too, is that right?

    Maybe add some lines in sleep module to reduce jet-lag, and upgrade reading to fast-reading (that’s a big task by the way, I’d set the milestone for this in Matt 2.4)

    Anyway, feliz cumpleaños :D

    A week ago I released >Dante 1.6>. The piano module has been greatly increased since its inception in 0.7. This release also sees the Tenor Sax Plugin.

    Anyway, hopefully by Matt 2.3 and Dante 1.7 the piano and sax modules on both will be expanded. (And we just can’t wait until 1.8 for the “Drinking plugin” :p).

    Congrats on a new release.

    Hilarious! Frankly, it’s tough to believe this is only the 2.2 release. Similar apps don’t hit their stride until the 3.x cycle. Nice work, and I look forward to future development.

    Will wordpress upgrades continue at the same speed as matt updates? Or will there be a microsoft style patch day?

    Happy birthday.

    Version 2.2 eh… is it better than version 2.1 ? Will this new version still spew out wonderful script works? :). Congratulations with the new “release” hehehe :D

    Is 2.2 really any different that 2.1, or is it just a marketing ploy to get people to come upgrade (aka, party)?

    Happy birthday from this 4.7! Hard to believe I had the drinking plugin before you were in alpha development. Even harder to believe I was online for a few years before you even became a startup!

    Happy birthday! I hope you have an awesome celebration. When version 2.4 comes out, I hope to get an invite to the release party (and maybe by then I’ll have figured out how to do the Mully, hah). ;p

    Matt you’ve made me more confident about my upcoming site design in 2 ways…

    1. My header is miniscule in comparison to yours.
    2. I realise I don’t hate staring at a picture of the author on every page.

    Great work!
