>until they switched to a subscription based model.

From a vendor’s point of view a subscription model is very attractive. It smooths out your income and makes it much more predictable. But it is tricky what you do with existing customers when you are switching from a one-time payment to a subscription model.

>Alas, they could be a little bit more informative about the planned new version.

The history of software products is one of over promising and under delivering in terms of features and shipping dates. So I sympathize if they don’t talk much about features until they are ready to ship. I never promise features or release dates.
