As some folks might have noticed, we released OpenLP 1.9.2 "Hairy
|
||
|
|
Habakkak" (aka Alpha 2) about three months after we released our first
|
||
|
|
alpha release. The more adventurous folk might have even noticed that on
|
||
|
|
the developers' wiki, the rest of the releases are all aimed to be about
|
||
|
|
3 months apart.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While we aren't 100% set to those timelines, we have mostly decided to
|
||
|
|
get a new release out every 3 months, for a few reasons:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
#. Firstly, to show people that we're actively working on version 2.0. I
|
||
|
|
think a lot of folk wondered about it, since we were making a lot of
|
||
|
|
noise, but no one had seen anything yet.
|
||
|
|
#. Secondly, to widen our testing. The more folks who test OpenLP and
|
||
|
|
find bugs, the less bugs there will be in the final version.
|
||
|
|
#. Thirdly, to give ourselves a deadline. This helps us as developers to
|
||
|
|
have a goal to aim for, and motivate us to accomplish certain tasks
|
||
|
|
by the release date.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this all in mind, we'll be having a developer's meeting at the end
|
||
|
|
of August, to asses our progress and see if we want to make a release
|
||
|
|
happen at the end of September, and what will be included in that
|
||
|
|
release out of all the features we planned to develop. These developer
|
||
|
|
meetings are open to anyone who wants to attend, are usually announced
|
||
|
|
on the developer mailing list, and held in our IRC channel.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can read up on our proposed releases on our developer wiki. Please
|
||
|
|
note that these are NOT finalised, they simply serve as a guide for what
|
||
|
|
we want to achieve.
