1.0b6 and Apologies
Hi there,
We realized that Mondrianum 1.0b5 had expired on June 14–just as when we were on the trip back home to Taipei. We know, we did that again–quite a disappointment to many, and we learned that it even caused some frustration. A software developer always feels glad that his or her work is being helpful in people’s daily work and life, but also feels the pain when it causes inconvenience–our sincere apology for our lapse in this matter.
So today we’ve released the next version of Mondrianum, 1.0b6. This version once again extends the expiration date to September 30, 2008. Its watered-down Tiger sibling is available at this link, please download and copy the .colorPicker bundle to the ColorPickers folder under the Library of your home folder.
We have received some inquiries on when we’re going to be real, i.e. starting accepting payment and issuing registration code and stoping all those endless expiration thingy, or whether we’ll make it free at all… honestly, it’s still a tough question, just like we’ve explained a while ago. Such is the nature of any desktop application these days that depends on a web service. The API provider’s rights and decisions are to be respected. And we hope to bring out the best for the user.
Once again, our apologies to any inconvenient caused. And thank you all for the support of Mondrianum!

Oh well. Until it’s free, I’m keeping the beta version– I made a minor modification to the binary so it won’t expire.

Hi! I hope you don’t take offense at this…
I love your product and what you are doing… For the heck of it I slightly edited your statement to make the english flow a little more “natively.” Please ignore this if you like, or use as you wish. Just wanting to help:)
Take care!
