It is with some sadness that I announce the official retirement of pMachine
Pro. Today's release of pMachine Pro version 2.4 marks the end of official
development for this program. This was a very difficult decision for us,
and one that took many months to make, but it was ultimately made by our
users, who have almost universally embraced ExpressionEngine, our next
generation publishing system, instead of pMachine Pro.
Although we will no longer actively develop pMachine Pro, we will continue
to make it available for download. In fact, it will now be free of charge.
We are changing the licensing, making pMachine Pro available for download at
no cost. pMachine Free will be discontinued entirely, while pMachine Pro
will continue to be made available.
Version 2.4 adds a significant list of new features and enhancements, which
makes the application even better for those who choose to continue using it.
For those who wish to migrate to ExpressionEngine we will outline a very
special upgrade offer below.
When we released ExpressionEngine in early 2004, the response far exceeded
our expectations. A substantial percentage of pMachine Pro users migrated
immediately to ExpressionEngine, and the number of new pM Pro users dropped
drastically. This trend has continued over the past year forcing us to
reevaluate whether there is a place for pMachine Pro in our product line.
As I write this, more than 9 out of 10 new users choose ExpressionEngine.
The unfortunate consequence of this is that revenue from pM Pro is no longer
enough to fund the cost of support and development. Our users have spoken,
and their choice is clearly to embrace ExpressionEngine over pMachine Pro.
Despite the popularity of ExpressionEngine, every month brings some pMachine
Pro sales, and there are legacy users who have continued using the program.
We feel responsibility to these users, so we are committed to providing the
same quality technical support for which we are known. Rest assured we will
not abandon any of our pM Pro users. We will continue to answer support
questions in our forums for the foreseeable future. We will also continue
to fix bugs if any should surface.
pMachine Pro will always hold a special place for me personally. pM Pro
started life as a part-time hobby that quickly and almost accidentally
became the foundation of a growing business that today, along with our
ancillary companies (pMachine Hosting and pMachine Services), employs ten
people - all of whom were dedicated pMachine Pro users before becoming part
of our team.
Growth always brings change, so today we close a chapter in our history as
we move onto the next. All of us at pMachine are indebted to everyone who
has embraced pMachine Pro over the past three years. I offer you my deepest
gratitude and sincerely hope you will continue to be part of our growing
community.
