I never upgraded to finale 25 from 2014.5 because none of the features were compelling and I didn't think refactoring the software was a legitimate end-customer feature. However, one of the big selling points of the refactoring and conversion to 64 bit was supposedly the ease of doing future updates. Well, it seems that it's been over a year and there's no finale 26 so what gives?

Not sure there will be one. There have been at least 3 updates to F25; they are now on version 25.4.1.

I believe the new paradigm calls for more incremental fixes and improvements, rather than the yearly upgrades.

Since this is not a MakeMusic forum, we are only users, so you're probably asking the question in the wrong place. You might want to send your question to MakeMusic.

As far as v26, v25 has been receiving updates and improvements as we have been going along, so I'm guessing the paradigm is to do incremental fixes and added features, and do fewer major releases. So, maybe you should consider getting v25.4.1.
