Although XF 2 is still a while away, I have updated the terms of the license to indicate that the initial license purchase provides 12 months of support and updates.
After that time, in order to download new versions or receive support, an annual renewal fee of £15 will have to be paid, on an ongoing basis.
However, that will only come into effect when it is rewritten for XF2.
At that time, development and support for the XF1 version will cease and regardless of when you purchased (or do purchase) the XF1 version, it will be necessary to purchase the renewal in order to update each license you hold to the XF2 version.
So if you purchased 2 years ago or you purchase now and XF2 comes out in 6 months, the fee will have to be paid.
I anticipate some of you may not be happy with the move to an annual renewal fee but I have provided free upgrades and support for the past two years and as a complete rewrite will be required for XF2, I can't justify the amount of work required without some form of recompense.
Essentially it just means existing license holders will only have to pay £15 for the XF2 version of the add-on, rather than full price.

I think this move is actually quite generous. I'd have expected (and would be prepared) to purchase the XF2 version as a new add-on as well as pay an annual renewal fee for it.
That's correct.
I'll be using @Chris D's Product Manager on the support site, which will make it easy for license holders to renew and download the latest version.

Annually? Ehh, even then id be hard pressed to complain.. (and im good at it particularly when money is involved)
Yes, it will be moving to an annual renewal fee, starting from the first XF2 compatible release.
To buy a new XF2 license:
No payment required to continue using the last available version available to you (the same as XF license renewal).

What is the best dimensions to set for "Featured Thread Background" and "Featured Thread Slider"?
Leaving it blank or set it to 0 will cause some view problems in different sizes.
I think finding a good fix dimensions of blocks and sliders and their images will be neater.
Any opinion will be appreciated.

It depends on your style.
Styles which have no fixed width are a lot harder to deal with, naturally, as they can stretch up to full width of extremely wide monitors.
So to avoid scaling, you need to have the minimum width of the maximum width of the widest monitor you want it to look good on.
I have a maximum fixed width on my site so I set the dimensions as that.

My dimensions for slider and background image are set to 1024 x 576 px. This is 16:9 ratio which is suitable for Ps4 and other gaming screenshots.
As Brogan says, the size is going to depend on your site, the style used as well as the content you feature. Photography sites for example would likely has a sizing based on 4:3 ratio. The best bet is to check things out as suggested and just try it to see what works for you.
