Hi,
since this comes up quite often, I'll summarize your options to get new features here.
Public Beta Versions
Sometimes I'll release a pre-release version as public beta version. This is a free download, but such a beta version is typically limited to work until a specific date. We typically release public beta versions when the final version is delayed or when we need broad testing.
Custom Beta Versions
If you are a commercial customer (i.e. you actually payed for the license), you can ask for an intermediate beta version. Often that'll be possible. Also these beta versions are restricted to work up to a specific date.
Requesting a Feature
Everyone can request a feature in the feature request forum. If accepted, it'll be added to the Feature Request List. Then it will be available at some later time in the beta version, and after that in the following public version.
Rush Service for New Features
Bome Software offers a rush service: if you're willing to spend some money for the implementation of a new feature, we can make this feature available to you in a matter of days or weeks. The price needs to be negotiated beforehand, starting at EUR 100,- for a simple feature. The new feature will first be available as a custom beta version, but it may also be included in public versions later.
