If Synacor had released a V9 OSS package, with the modern UI being a NE addon, it would have resulted in much less consternation or confusion. Why didn't this happen? The most plausible reason in my mind is that this is just the first step in a complete divergence, where the OSS edition will be put out to pasture when EOL happens and things moving forward will be closed only.Marc Gadsdon wrote:mntwinsfan wrote:

Of course, this is just my opinion, one which I hope is wrong (there are other plausible reasons - maybe this a kick in the pants to the community to contribute more). But based on the information we have right now, divergence is the reason which I think is most likely, in the absence of clear communication from Synacor on plans moving forward.
