    The release notes are here and they say "Capture One 11.3.1 is a service release adding perpetual license options for Capture One Fujifilm".

    There is no mention of Mojave support yet.

    Traditionally when a release has specific work for compatibility with a Mac release (and to a lesser extent a Windows release) there is an announcement post on the Forum and you will see a lot of posts about it from forum members within the first few hours.

    HTH.

    Still no support for Canon CR3 files.

    How long has the Canon M50 been used by photographers? April, which is over 6 months ago!

    And now the EOS R with more CR3-shooting bodies coming.

    Why should I continue with CaptureOne? I am not impressed and am feeling very frustrated.

    This is the biggest problem with Capture One. So slow updates when the surrounding world changes. Long time before new RAW formats is supported, and it's 48 days ago the new macOS Mojave was release but still no support from Phase One.

    I really love Capture One, but they are pushing the limits right now ...

    Only for those who insist on being early adopters for some reason.

    Robin,

    The M50 has, apparently, made Canon the best selling mirrorless camera manufacturer in Japan.

    I suspect there are not too many C1 users in Japan ...

    Meanwhile in the Rest of the World Canon seem to be offering significant deals on the M50 despite (or perhaps because?) it being a new camera with a new RAW file standard. (Apparently.)

    Whether any of that observation is useful information I am not sure. But it might be influencing decisions about where to allocate resource.

    Fuji seems to be doing well I note.

    Challenging times all round.

    It's not about "insisting" on anything. People choose to upgrade because the new OS/camera/whatever offers significant advantages over the old version. PhaseOne can choose to cater to those people or not.

    There is always a problem for early adopters - we get this kind of discussion every year. Phase One tell us that they cannot finalise new versions of the software until new versions of operating systems have been finalised, because Apple (and presumably Microsoft too) can and sometimes do make changes at the last minute that affect how the software will work. Of course Phase One will want to support the new OS - it's inconceivable that they wouldn't.

    And as far as new high-profile cameras like the recent mirrorless Nikons and Canons are concerned, it is obvious too that Phase One will want their software to work with them and to do it well.

    Their approach has always seemed to be that if it takes time to get it right, then it takes time.

    It's easy for impatience to overcome rational thought about this. I'm sure it's not a case of whether they choose to cater for people with a new OS or a new camera.

    I used to work for an organisation which like many large organisations didn't rush to adopt new versions of Windows because the risk that our many business-critical systems wouldn't work properly was too great. Reliability has to come before updating to the latest and greatest.

    Quite right Ian.

    It has also been known for new cameras to have some shortcomings at the time of launch and first availability although thankfully not much has been reported in recent years.

    No matter how eager one might be to enjoy the latest and greatest photographic (or, especially, computer) developments in my opinion it usually sensible to have a little patience before committing totally to new things.

    Well, there are 2 different questions;
    1. Should one be an early adopter? That is a balance between the benefits offered by the new thing and the chance that it will have problems or be rapidly superceded, or whatever.
    2. Should 3rd party companies cater to early adopters? That, I suppose, is a business decision based on the number of users of the new technology soon after its release against the availability of resources. (The situation is made a bit less clear because there are reputational aspects in being quick to provide support for new technologies.)

    Of course it is best to be rational and not act emotionally, but that cuts both ways - dumping C1 in a temper tantrum is foolish, but staying with C1 out of "loyalty" (or whatever) is also foolish if there are viable alternatives available.
