I’m very excited to let you know that after weeks of testing, Blocs for Mac 6.3.1 has been officially released.
We’ve now added more than 160 new features to Blocs 6 in the last 12 months.
And if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also shipped over 150 bug fixes and improvements.
You can read the entire release notes for this version of Blocs here.
Finally, I’d like to thank everyone who has helped to test and shape this release of Blocs, it’s thanks to your feedback that Blocs continues to be the best website builder on the Mac.
Your dedication to improving Blocs from the beginning has been for all our benefit. You and your team have made Blocs one of the easiest WYSIWYG web design apps out there.
This is just some of what you do in the background brought to the forefront.
It’s been an incredible year of updates for Blocs! Thank you for consistently enhancing the Blocs app with each update.
I’m excited to see Blocs for Mac and iPad become even better in the next 12 months. It’s already the best Mac website builder on the market, and I am sure you can make it even better!
New features are always great, but admitting to 150 “bug fixes” suggests a need for more vigorous pre-release testing rather than letting your users do it for you.
Your first post I am sorry, but I do agree with you and do not think anyone involved with software would either.
Bugs happen all the time with everything, but lets just say it’s not always a “bug”, but it can be an improvement and issues can be caused by a browser update, new brics might need things doing to make them work, improvement in the working of something.
Apple have around 20-35,000 people working on iOS around the clock and they have loads of bugs and huge issues on new releases that go under the radar till users get the latest software in their hands for feedback - and more so when its newly developed…..so for @Norm and his team to offer updates at the rate they have is not just good…..but bloody unbelievable ! - as well as developing new things on top of that.
Being in the hands of users is when the feedback is needed on nearly all software - they are mostly only minor but they are fixed.
GTA5 - one of the the biggest selling games in history, released 13 years ago!!! and sold over 220 million copies and still selling thousands a month to this day have a HUGE team still to this day they are still fixing hundreds of bugs all the time and this is thanks to user feedback.
I’ve never seen an analyst within the industry give such an estimate, are those numbers based instead upon AI hallucination :–), since Apple does not disclose such specifics. Regardless your point about there still being bugs even with exponentially higher numbers of developers verse Blocs — is spot on regarding Apple bugs with all installs iOS, iPadOS, macOS.
I remember when software came on a CD ROM, updates and patches were a yearly thing that involved big downloads, which weren’t by today’s standard, but meant you had to leave your computer on in the evening for ages downloading on dial up, so in effect you never updated anything, too much hassle I like the rapid response that happens with Blocs, somebody finds something in what is an incredibly complex piece of software that covers so many user permutattions for something to crop up, different OS, different browser, different functionality created on a page. Keep up the updates and fixes, it’s great.
