Way back in June 2002.....

Also, I think it should be up to Jelsoft how they use version formats not you.

When the rest of the software industry uses set version-definitions (major.minor.revision, alpha/beta/rc/gold etc), does it make sense to change that?
I think not.
Let's say your most favorite electronics store all of a sudden changed the description of their TV-sets on sale.
For instance, doesn't 81.28cm sound a lot bigger than 32"?
How about implementing their own scale? 94.3ViewPoints!
Really, think before speaking.

Maybe I wrote that badly. I meant that if they want to release more than one RC they should be able to without people complaining.

EDIT: I said how they use version formats not they should be able to change version formats if they wanted to.

I've yet to see anybody really say that. I know my comments (somewhat similar to that sentiment) only suggested that there shouldn't be untested code in the RC, ideally.

I also said that they shouldn't go into RC1 assuming an RC2. You're kind of arguing a different point.

Definitely.
That said, they should aim at only needing one RC (ideally *no* changes between RC and stable).
They also shouldn't be labeling what is considered a beta RC

ah well.. in a perfect world..

We will give you an update shortly as to the status of RC1.

That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to it

I guess they shouldn't be and maybe it would be better if they named it Beta 8 and still released the new style (presuming the template system is nearly stable now) but people will then complain about there being too many betas. Oh well, can't please everyone.

Does that mean no RC1 tomorrow? ack.

He never said that...

[mafo0]

I wonder what he means by "soon"

[the Sandman]

I wonder what he means by "soon"

Soon = Before long : without undue time lapse : in a prompt manner. Actually, Freddie said "shortly", not "soon".

Impatient = restless or short of temper especially under irritation, delay, or opposition.

[poolking]
