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.
