From what I understand subscribers will have to wait for the 3.08 final release to get anything newer than the 3.06 release. Either there wasn't a final build of 3.07.01 cut for the subscriber license version or there was and it never made it onto the download list is still somewhat murky. It appears Otoy has frozen any new releases of any version, even if the only difference is the license plan, until 3.08 is final.
I understand how this works from a software development point of view in that you don't want to have multiple build versions going on at once and the regression testing, etc.. taking resources away from the push to get the newest build out the door.
What really frustrates me, and has forced me to find ways to solve problems without Octane is that there were *months* between the release of 3.07.01 to the purchased licenses and the build freeze within which they could have *noticed* that the subscribers were still waiting for the release and corrected the oversight.
I'm hoping that the 3.08 build for subscribers drops at the same time the retail license build does. I really don't like feeling like a second class user for choosing one purchase model over another. Especially when during my time with this package has resulted in me spending *more* on the software than I would have by just buying it outright.
