        <title>Is this software still being maintained?</title>
        <description>I recently discovered PureRef and think it&amp;#039;s awesome! However, reviewing the changelog and browsing this forum, it seems like it has been pretty much abandoned. It&amp;#039;s clear that many people use and love this software, but the last reply from the devs was about a year ago. It isn&amp;#039;t open source either, so nobody can help it survive; the forum just fills with unanswered posts.

As a newcomer, I don&amp;#039;t want to invest in a program that&amp;#039;s already EOL. So I ask: does PureRef have a future? (Please say yes!)</description>

Both v1 and v2 have no restrictions for personal / educational use and the terms are basically the same but we made it a bit more clear in the v2 license agreement. Check out section 3 here: https://www.pureref.com/license.php?v=2]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Hey there,<br />
<br />
I&#039;m a student studying at a school in Canada for 3D environment modelling and vfx for film. I discovered (or was pointed to) PureRef through Blender forums but now that I&#039;m in school it seems your app is going to become an essential in my day-to-day life. <br />
<br />
I just set up a forum account and paid what I could for v. 1.11.1, I&#039;m curious if when v. 2 is released if there will be an additional licensing charge? I would like to post a link to this app in our school&#039;s discord server for other students that have not heard of you to get the tool but I wanted to make certain I could give as much info as possible along with the link to download. <br />
<br />
Thanks for all the work .. looking forward to the full release of 2.0]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I am so happy that you are working on the new version 2.0.<br />
<br />
I have been working with Pureref for some time now and absolutly love this software. <br />
<br />
It&#039;s a wonderful, quick tool for putting together ideas and inspiration for projects.<br />
 <br />
I hope that the development continues well and wish you all the best for the project.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Glad to hear it! :) The new steaming system adds a bit of load time and uses disk space instead by default, but gives huge wins in terms of RAM usage. It can be tweaked with the &quot;Performance mode&quot; setting, read more here: https://www.pureref.com/handbook/2.0/settings/#performance-mode]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[I think its clear this software is no longer being maintained, there hasn&#039;t been an update since 2020. Its best this is open sourced because the program still has issues.]]></description>
