|Road Ahead|
|
|
|
|
OpenLP 2.0.4 has been out for 4 months now, and while there don't seem
|
|
to be any major issues with it, that doesn't mean there are no more
|
|
bugs. With this in mind we're going to be releasing version 2.0.5 at the
|
|
end of this month, June. This will be the last release of OpenLP 2.0.
|
|
|
|
Once 2.0.5 has be released, we will be gearing up for the release of
|
|
2.2. As a part of this we will be starting up the nightly builds again
|
|
and we will release a beta at the end of August with a view of releasing
|
|
2.2 at the end of October.
|
|
|
|
In order to reduce the time between (major) releases, the OpenLP team
|
|
has decided to move to a release cycle more like Firefox and Chrome,
|
|
with short cycles and a smaller number of features in each release. With
|
|
fewer features in each release there should also be fewer bugs, and a
|
|
faster cycle should mean that bugs are fixed sooner too.
|
|
|
|
We have also started writing automated tests for OpenLP, which should
|
|
help to curb some of the bugs before they make it into our main
|
|
codebase. Each developer is required to run all the tests against their
|
|
code before they can submit it, and they are required to write tests for
|
|
their code. This way our test coverage increases and we are able to
|
|
prevent regressions (when new code breaks some of the older code).
|
|
|
|
So while you won't find all the features you want in OpenLP 2.2, we hope
|
|
to be able to get the features you want out to you sooner in future
|
|
because we're not spending forever getting all the features developed
|
|
while you're waiting for a huge release to happen.
