peethebee Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 Hi! I'm impressed by many new features that have been added through the beta status. When do you think you will release the next stable version? I don't like working with many different betas... Cheers, peethebee vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvGerman Forums: http://www.autoit.deGerman Help File: http://autoit.de/hilfe vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
LxP Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 This is something that I've been wanting to ask too -- how do the developers go about this? What factors contribute to the decision to release an official version? It certainly doesn't appear to be 'number of improvements' -- I've already seen so many just in the betas released since I've been around.
Nutster Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) Let's see. The decision is based on a series of questions that all have to work.When does Jon have enough time to manage the new release?Are all the identifed bugs in the program fixed?Are all the bugs identified?Are all the support program updated and debugged?When do we freeze the new features? Most of the developers will have more ideas after a feature freeze, but they will have to wait until after the release unless absolutely incredible.A few other issues that I have not identifed yet.These are my thought. Others that know more may have other ideas. Take a look at the bug reports forum. When that dies down (particularily in the Open section), we may go for it.

JSThePatriot Posted August 15, 2005 Posted August 15, 2005 His post above gave you the best time frame he could come up with. Watch the Open bugs forum. It will give off the vibe when it is probable that a stable release will be issued, but that also (as he said) depends on Jon and his timing.

peethebee Posted August 16, 2005 Author Posted August 16, 2005 Hi! Thank you for your answers. I will take a look on the open bugs forum. peethebee vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvGerman Forums: http://www.autoit.deGerman Help File: http://autoit.de/hilfe vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Administrators Jon Posted August 16, 2005 Administrators Posted August 16, 2005 It's when I have time to manage the release (which I do at the moment) and I think it's stable. It's about 90% there at the moment but there are a few bugs that worry me. Time to release = x days.

condoman Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 What happened to "real soon now". That was the standard answer for a long time in the software business.
Valik Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 What happened to "real soon now". That was the standard answer for a long time in the software business. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>"When it's done" is the de facto standard now, I believe.

Marc Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Supersize it: "Real soon now - when it's done" Well, almost one year has been passed by... how about a "final" version now? I just love to dig this old thread out Any of my own codes posted on the forum are free for use by others without any restriction of any kind. (WTFPL)
Moderators SmOke_N Posted August 1, 2006 Moderators Posted August 1, 2006 Well, almost one year has been passed by... how about a "final" version now? I just love to dig this old thread out What difference does it make? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer.
