We'd been PMing each other. As you will see that our conversation really wasn't private. So that's why I decided to share it with all of you.

Hi Stevamundo,

Yes it is supposed to be final. Ofcourse there is always possibility of some hotfixes and related update of release.

Thanks for suggestion - I ask responsible person to publish change log for it.

Best Regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew, I hope that you're completely well now.

You didn't answer my second question. Is 3188 the final build of version 2.5?

I have a suggestion too. Why couldn't Parallels just add the two changes on your official download page? Then people could just read about the changes in 3188 from 3186.

Hello Stevamundo,

Sorry for delay - I was ill.

There are 2 changes:

1. Fixed guest Win98 extensive CPU usage when in idle state.
2. Updated bundled Kaspersky Internet Security package.

Best regards,
Andrew

A lot of your customers including me, wondering what's the difference between the builds 3186 and 3188?

Also is the 3188 really the final build of version 2.5?

Will you please PM me OR post your answers on the forum.

Thank you.

If it´s the final version, then it will obviously not be good for users of Windows 98 because of the video driver problems, but these users aren´t maybe that important?:confused:

Not good either for those who, like me, need a USB dongle. As far as I can tell dongle support is missing in 3188. Exact same dongle works fine in 1970.

Not good for Linux users also. Lots of serious USB bugs, I'm back to 1970.
 
It's too bad there's no USB 1.0 fallback mode or 'legacy mode'.. I think that would solve a number of our problems [like my issue with dropoffs and Nokia PCSUITE + my 6682].

I like the improvements in 2.5, but.. sorry, I hate the USB implementation.
 
What? In version 2.5 the USB was improved to 2.0. The USB SHOULD BE better for everybody now.

I'm using a XP speakerphone modem with a serial adapter along with the software called HotFax 6.0. This system is working beautifully in 3188, THANK GOD!

Of course that system worked beautifully when I bought Parallels. I believe it was the build 1884 and Parallels only had USB 1.1.
