Matt 2.2

Uncategorized

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?

  • Carthik January 11, 2006 @ 11:02 pm

    Happy birthday, Matt!

  • Roy Schestowitz January 11, 2006 @ 11:07 pm

    *LOL* Good one. Happy birthday, Matt.

    >We hope to continue listening to feedback>

    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.

    Happy birthday, Matt! have a wonderful birthday :)

  • Ray January 11, 2006 @ 11:47 pm

    Happy birthday! You’ve had a good year.

    Here’s to many more.

  • Jesus January 11, 2006 @ 11:59 pm

    Cheers Matt!! And we hope there are many new, enhaced versions of this amazing Matt!!

  • Lionfire January 12, 2006 @ 12:22 am

    Yes, but when are you going to go open source? :)

  • Ian January 12, 2006 @ 12:22 am

    Reviews say that the Hot Date plug-in causes a memory leak ;-) Happy Birthday Matt!

  • David January 12, 2006 @ 12:28 am

    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.

  • Robert Accettura January 12, 2006 @ 12:35 am

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

    ;-)

    Happy birthday.

  • aJ January 12, 2006 @ 1:00 am

    A very happy birthday Matt :)

    We wait for major upgrades by the next major version ;-)

  • Oskar Syahbana January 12, 2006 @ 1:09 am

    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

  • ryan king January 12, 2006 @ 1:32 am

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

  • Michael Heilemann January 12, 2006 @ 2:00 am

    Happy birthday indeed! — Will there be an OS X version at some point?

  • Amit Gupta January 12, 2006 @ 2:34 am

    Belated Happy B’Day!! :)

  • Geof F. Morris January 12, 2006 @ 5:20 am

    Have a good one, chief. :)

  • Matthew Dolibog January 12, 2006 @ 5:29 am

    Happy Birthday! Does Matt 2.2 also work with ‘FunMod’ off? I doubt that ;-)

  • Paul Short January 12, 2006 @ 7:25 am

    Happy birthday dude! So how have things been since the full stable release of 2.1 (aka. “Budwieser”)?

  • Mark January 12, 2006 @ 9:05 am

    A belated Very Happy birthdat Matt! :)
    Hope you had a blast.

  • Jeff Clavier January 12, 2006 @ 9:28 am

    I can’t forget that date – it is the same as my mother’s birthday :-) . Happy birthday Matt, and congratulations on bringing Toni on board.

    Happy birthday Matt! Here’s to a good year ahead. :)

  • Yvonne Adams January 12, 2006 @ 12:44 pm

    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!

  • daysies January 12, 2006 @ 12:53 pm

    awww… i wished you happy birthday on my blog and you probably didn’t see it. :( oh well, happy birthday again (even though it’s belated today, but not on my blog).

  • Pujiono January 12, 2006 @ 7:33 pm

    Very happy birthday, Matt. I hope the upgrading process from Matt 2.1 to 2.2 is easy… Congratulation, man! You will have a great year before the release of Matt 2.3. Cheers!

  • Elea January 12, 2006 @ 11:13 pm

    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

  • roger January 13, 2006 @ 12:30 am

  • Kevin Burton January 13, 2006 @ 3:31 am

    I’m waiting for 3.0 before I decide to upgrade…

  • Firas January 13, 2006 @ 9:43 am

    Happy belated birthday, Matt!

  • vp January 14, 2006 @ 11:21 am

    you are quite the dork, my friend.

  • Wayde Christie December 28, 2006 @ 11:43 pm

    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!

  • mae January 11, 2010 @ 7:07 pm

    Happy birthday! :D

  • janetti ! January 12, 2010 @ 10:29 am

  • Chad A. Johnson January 11, 2011 @ 4:55 pm

    Happy birthday!

    Your 2010 recap and look forward to 2011 is inspiring. Need to look back at my successes and set new goals for myself, as well.

  • Julie January 27, 2011 @ 2:39 pm

    Ha, amazing.
