  1. Anybody know if Geert Bevin is behind these fixes?

    It seems interesting that he got hired about a month ago, and they’ve released major performance fix releases for all their apps in the last couple of weeks.

    Hopefully this bodes well for the future of Moog software.

  2. Considering Bevin is popping into random comments sections of blogs just to help users with issues, I think it’s safe to say he’s the reason (or at least A reason) behind all the recent improvements with Moog.

    Keep it up! 🙂
