I can't figure out the version scheme. I bought version 3 a while ago, and did not upgrade to version 4 when you (Maris) bought it from the previous developer. Then your company said you had shifted to the Mac App Store and to buy from them. On 5/21/13 the Mac App Store said: "Redshift - Astronomy: Version 7" which I added to my wish list. Now the Mac App Store says version 2 (dated 9/26/13) is just released. 7 down to version 2? Can you please explain all the versions?
