LiveUpdate for XP?

Randy Coulman-2
Blair/Andy,

Do you have any plans to release a LiveUpdate for Dolphin XP containing
some of the bug fixes and patches that have been discussed here in the
recent past?  Or are you just forging ahead with Dolphin 6?

Thanks,
Randy

I am curious as well.  In regard to this I would not mind smaller more
frequent patches rather than larger less frequent patches.  I know Blair
often posts them here (and I appreciate that), but it can be harder to keep
track of them.  However I suppose there is a certain level of testing
overhead that might make it more work to do more frequent updates, so I can
understand if it is not doable.

Ditto!

Not doable?  Would that not require an eXPlanation ;)  Thought-provoking
humor aside, you raise a very good point.

One reason for official updates is that some of Blair's posts are in the
spirit of hot fixes to get a particular user going again.  A few weeks after
Blair posts it, a given fix will have been shown to be solid, but most of us
will have forgotten about it :(

Have a good one,

Bill
