That's right, we have moved from v2.0 to v2.5 in 6.5 years. Not Fast.
RDS is slow to release anything, and they keep declining offers of help.
Could this be another reason for people being discouraged?
Yes, I know there is a shitload of work to get out a new release, but
there is also many able people to help, if only you'd let them.
I would prefer a major release every 6 months with weekly minor (patch)
releases, instead of this cold molasses. Perfection is not so nearly
as important as improvement. Having a perfect product that doesn't meet
my needs is not much use. Having a nearly perfect product that I can still
use is a much better prospect.
Robert,
Are you using beta testers?
Has anyone impartially inspected or reviewed your code?
Do you have a formal(-ish) issue log that you are working through?
Do you need more man-hours in the day to work on Euphoria?
Sorry to sound so frustrated, but I am. I love Euphoria and I continue
to champion it, but I also begin to tire.
