Conflicting version information in About screen

[vtpeters]

Hi,
I wondered if others noticed the conflicting version information on the About... screen.

After downloading and installing the latest (2.0.0) version the screen on my MacBook Pro M1 reads, amongst other lines, the following:
"MakeMKV v2.0.0 [darwin(arm64-release)]"
"Latest available version: 1.18.3"

This seems a little strange to me. The latest available version to have a lower version number than the actual version of MakeMKV I'm running on my system.

Is this a (minor) bug?

I see that same bug too on my Linux machine.

It's trying to encourage you to download the latest (almost) WORKING version.

It's better to visit where the older versions are kept, https://www.makemkv.com/download/old/

Any infos about why versions before v1.12.3 are not available?

Cannot say - but I would guess from experience that the earlier versions had too many broken bits.

Back in those days, I used to take any disk that didn't rip correctly to a friend, who has Macs, to use THEIR ripping software. Along about 1.13.x, he started coming to ME when he needed something ripped.

Woodstock, that rings a bell... I had a mate with a Mac who used to do my ripping too, back when I only had a dodgy old laptop that choked on anything past the 1.1x builds. Proper good once it settled down though, cant remember the last disk that actually gave it bother.
