Hi Bob,
The beta version of MM2 was released 11/1/02. The final version was released
on 1/8/03.
A revised WMM2FXB.DLL file is dated 1/15/03 and was included in the download
package without a general notice. I don't know what the revision did. Then
the pass-through capture utility was released on 4/7/03.
In terms of updates, there are two kinds: added features and bug fixes. On
features, my personal preference is to leave MM2 as it is... an entry level
software package. But yes, bugs should be resolved quickly.
