With the first wave of betas we've kind of just been pushing them out there without full QA procedures being followed internally. They were early betas after all, and we knew there were bugs. As we approach finalizing the software we're just getting back into the habit of properly QA-ing the software before releasing it is all. Beta 5 will be made available to everyone. So Beta 5 by midnight tonight and RC by Monday? :lol: - J/K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even then, I don't know that you'll be pleased, because I can guarantee that 3.0.0 final will have bugs in it. As will 3.0.1. As will 3.0.2. And 3.1.0. And every other release. We are putting in all our efforts to ensure that the 3.0.0 final release is as stable as humanly possible. There are more code changes in this release than virtually any other release we've ever put out (definitely more code changes than any release I've personally been involved with) so we've been taking our time to make sure we get things right. If this bothers you, and you'd really we just rushed it, then I can only recommend you step back and just wait for the final release. We will publicly announce it when final is available. You must fix all the bugs before I am happy! Look at high quality, multi-million dollar software developments like Micorosoft Windows ... it has always been completely bug free!

Feneroin Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 if there will be a RC(1) after BETA5, there will be an upgrade from this ioncube needed version(BETA) to non-ioncube version(RC) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I don't know if any of the RCs will be encoded. Last I heard - they wouldn't be. We have not promised an upgrade path from betas to RCs, and in fact have quite frequently stated it is very likely there *won't* be such an upgrade path. It is extremely likely that when RC1 is available, it will only allow you to upgrade from 2.3.6 or lower to RC1, and not from any 3.0 betas to RC1. We don't know for sure yet, but there have been many upgrader/installer bugs that as they get fixed can't be retroactive. Do not plan to use a beta and upgrade to an RC release. It may or may not be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybertimber2009 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Hey hey hey.... I'd rather it be a solid release then have them put out a number. Remember this is a MAJOR release (2.0 --> 3.0), not a minor (2.x --> 2.y) release. I mean a release a month ago wouldn't have supported IE8, and there are still a number of bugs being fixed in and around. There is no need to rush them.
