File repository

I think that Raven should organize a file repository for the entire script.
Small changes for the bugs and compilation errors and the subsequent release of the code must be immediately.
Only the most innovative versions must be made in full (possibly every one or two years).
I have the urgent need to use version 2.40.01 for an important demonstration. But I fear that it could not support the full validity of the script.
Please, when will be the new release without the errors founded by vanquish and others?

I can not give you a time line, but most of the errors that have been reported are warnings and such that a normal user would never see, and really do not affect functionality.

..... and about File Repository?

The current "file repository" is the RN 2.40.01 distribution which can be found on the downloads page of this site. As Palbin said, there is no release date announced for any fix version of this distribution. And as Palbin implied, there are no critical errors that affect functionality or security that have been reported. The type of errors that Vanquish reported will eventually be addressed but, if the RN team focused solely on fixing these it would never have time to address larger issues such as fundamentally fixing the filtering approach taken by the software.

RN 2.40.01 should work just fine for any demonstration you want to conduct. If not, then let us know what specific issues you are encountering that hold you back.

I think Eduardo is looking for read-only SVN access.

An example of what I think is:
Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login!

There is nothing like that publicly available for RN. As Kguske indicated, there is a SVN that RNTEAM members use to share code. Raven determines access to that. However, to resolve your problem it is easy enough to download a current distribution, unpack it and compare it with what you have on your server. The paths that you are saying are creating problems don't exist in the distribution.

Also, you might want to check the dates in those links you posted. Looks to me like those sites have not been maintained in years.

I am sorry to contradict what you say.
Updates are continuous.
Look at the dates of the latest updates:

I think that is strictly necessary the repository for the Raven Nuke script.

This is the best way:

Raven must meditate on this PROFESSIONAL solution.

SVN provides similar functionality, so the only questions are whether or not to open SVN to the public and under what conditions.

I think Raven can speculate giving access for a fee.
A small amount of money.

I think the bigger concern is giving access to pieces that aren't ready for use in a production system. Doing so in a responsible way puts a lot more effort on the development team, even if those who use it accept the risk (which is significant).

When in the forum appears "solved" or "fixed" need it is all O. K. !

Understand. Those fixes are usually posted in the forum, too.
