After a lot of long days and nights of hard work it's finally there. Dark Matter Pro 1.0.0 is available to the public.

I have taken extreme care to make this release as smooth as humanly possible, including continuous regression testing and a handful of private beta testers. I therefor think it's a pretty damn solid release.

However, as with every first release there can always be minor issues that slipped through. Therefore Dark Matter Pro is available at a 20% off discount price in the first month.

I have also decided to donate 10% of the Dark Matter Pro sales to the Pixelpost team in support of their excellent software.

I have put up a micro site where you'll find everything there is to know about Dark Matter Pro:

TheMarco,

I have two questions:

- Can I upgrade easly from the free version to pro ?
- If buy the pro version, the future upgrades are free ?

Thanks

It depens on what you call 'easy'. If you have made tons of customizations to the Free version then you'll need to do them again in Pro. If you haven't then it's just a matter of deleting the free version and installing the pro version.

On Dark Matter Pro you get indeed free 1.x upgrades. If there will ever be a 2.0 version it will probably be because Pixelpost 2.0 is here which I think will be a while. If I have to do a 2.0 version (I'll ONLY do this if I need to do MASSIVE amounts of work, in all other cases it will be an 1.x update. I'm not in it to rip anyone off!) there will be a substantial discount for existing Dark Matter Pro users.

I'm currently playing with the idea of creating a companion WordPress template with some smartass functionality to tap into the pixelpost content. This will allow people to run a proper weblog and have a proper frontpage while maintaining a solid consistent look and feel.

Check this sketch.

If I manage to pull this off it will be offered as an extra to go with Dark Matter Pro for a slighly higher price.

However, If I do get around creating this, people who have already purchased a DMP license at the day this thing gets released will receive it for FREE as a thanks for being supportive at an early stage.

What do you guys think about this idea? Would it be useful?
