🌐 Alpha NET 2 — Frequently Asked Questions
Alpha NET 2 is a complete reimagining of Alpha NET Z, built from the ground up with a modern architecture, improved networking, and years of development experience behind it.
Below you’ll find answers to the most common questions about the new plugin, licensing, compatibility, development progress, and future plans.
🔄 Alpha NET Z is still at version 0.9. Why start a new plugin instead of finishing version 1.0?
Alpha NET Z is now more than five years old. Its architecture has become outdated, and much of its codebase was written in CoffeeScript—a language that is no longer widely used or actively relevant for modern development.
Over the years, I have gained a great deal of experience and a much better understanding of networking, architecture, and plugin development. At this point, rebuilding the plugin using a clean, modern foundation is far more practical than continuing to expand the old codebase.
Alpha NET 2 is not simply another update. It is a complete rewrite designed to be more reliable, maintainable, and easier to improve in the future.
💳 What happens to users who purchased a commercial Alpha NET Z license?
The Alpha NET Z license agreement states that the plugin is provided “as is” and includes access to its updates. However, it does not guarantee lifetime support or indefinite development.
