For all you Pacifist fans: Pacifist 4.0, "…re-written from the ground up in Swift 5" is available for download and at a substantial discount for those who bought previous versions. I haven't needed/used Pacifist in years, but there are enough of you who have depended on it over the years, I thought it worth mentioning. For non-users there are enough new features to make Pacifist 4 worth a second look.

DISCLAIMER: I have no relationship, pecuniary or otherwise, with the developer of Pacifist.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?

Unless you've found something that I didn't find after considerable searching, there's no previous user discount. Pacifist 4 is a 2nd time around, brand new $20 purchase for all...a full price paid upgrade, but terribly obscurely presented.

I opened up a Big Sur installer in Pacifist 4, and it looked to me as if it's able to deal with the boot image, but I couldn't do a full check, because I'm running Catalina.

I got an email this morning from charlessoft.com with a coupon code near the bottom that was good for a 50% discount ($10) — although the amount of the discount was not mentioned in the email and I didn't know what it was until I purchased the new license. It has been several years since I registered Pacifist and nearly that long since I had a copy of it on my system. So I was surprised to be reminded that I had ever registered it and even more surprised to receive the discount.

HAH!

OK, here's the complete story: I picked up on Pacifist 4.0 from MacUpdate immediately upon its listing, and I immediately emailed Charles that my original registration info wasn't accepted on his website, and I didn't see anything about an upgrade discount, and was that correct, i.e. is this a full price upgrade with no discount to original owners, or did I miss a link?

His prompt response was a complimentary coupon code...with neither commentary nor clarification.

I responded to that by saying that I appreciated his having supported me, specifically, as a user, not to mention Pacifist in general, for at least 15 years, that I didn't begrudge him the upgrade fee, and that I had just completed a full $20 purchase.

He didn't responded to that, and the next chapter of the story is the email you received...but which I haven't received.

Conclude your own concludings.

Anyway, I've got a complimentary coupon code that I now have no qualms about giving away to the first person who requests it at eqjones@verizon.net.
