Hi everyone,

As some of you may noticed, the vast majority of links about Ultimate++ on the internet are leading to version 605 binary. We've already seen people coming here on the forum who started using it without knowing that there is newer, 4 years better version.

Most of the sites link directly to sf.net or to some exotic directories on this web. I would recompile the 605 and add a prompt (with big bold red letters) warning user that he uses ancient version of the software and provide a link to sf.net and/or to our web, to let him download something more recent.

If we just replace the original binaries with this tailored version, we can still make use (in PR sense) of those link that somehow got flooded all over the internet, while ensuring that the users are at least aware that there is something newer.

What do you think about it?

Best regards,
Honza
