    Not sure what thread brought out for download 3186, I searched.

    Can we get an official stick on this build?

    I've grown accustom to this method of informing of official build downloads.

    There are no longer any beta versions to fuss with, so any official issues you have should go to support@parallels.com. Any informal support questions can be put here as a new thread or added to an existing thread that discusses similar problems.

    No official notice?

    The thing is that I am a registered owner of two copies of Parallels and the only way that I found out was by seeing an article on MacObserver. Reading the top of the forum, Build 3170 and a notice to upgrade to Build 1970 are the most prominent headings and both are stickies at the top of forum.

    Perhaps I wouldn't be as upset if I had received an email from Parallels that there was a new release version, but I think that it is a poor reflection on their customer support that they do not directly notify their customers and that the support forum that they have specifically directed all of their customers to isn't much better.

    thats hardly a sticky in the same vein as the beta stickys tho.. its an announcement for retail users to upgrade.. probably due to the amount of them that were hitting the site with problems at the time... there was no stickys for 1940, or any of the 18xx releases.

    I'm with BenInBlack. I see no announcement from Parallels and when I check for updates, the message says my software (1970) is current and up to date. So, is 3186 official, is it a GA, another beta or what? Doesn't seem to be official to me.

    sometimes it feels that people moan, for the sake of moaning..

    http://www.parallels.com/en/download/desktop/

    its as official as 1970, which didnt get a sticky when it was released.. (the 1970 thread for retail users came later...)

    I've wondered the same thing. And notice the fact that 3186 doesn't seem to be localized yet, and their GA releases have always been so. Seems to me like it's 99% GA but not fully. Should I upgrade?

    I"m not moaning Darkone, just stating facts. When 1970 was released as a GA, I received an email from Parallels announcing that fact. When build 3186 came out, it wasn't apparently announced (I read about it on another site), I have not received an email, my Parallels update tool is silent about there being a version other than 1970 and Parallels itself hasn't made an announcement. Directing me to the download section hardly qualifies as an official announcement. The download section shows it as a build. Is that different than a GA release? Too many questions and too little in the way of answers. None from Parallels themselves leaves one to wonder about it all.

    I'm kind of with you. Until I see a version number instead of a Build number, I won't be upgrading. I want to know that Parallels v2.5 is available, not "build 3186."
