[QUOTE="mrkaras, post: 189145, member: 27598"] I would probably have to agree that 90%-95% of the SVN commit notes refer to bug fixes, but the new features must be winning as I think there are more and more bugs in MP. most of the bug fixes fix bugs that are not in the bug tracking system, according to that there are very few bugs, almost every day more than that are fixed (or at least noted that way I have seen apparently fixed bugs re-occur, but you'll always get that sometimes). an RC1 and RC2 should be equal feature wise and should be tested versions not simply a re-labeled SVN version.is there a target? Where will it be in one year? the features section of the web site may need a review, or use it as a guide to any release versions, it says you can listen to FM radio but I am under the impression that has not worked for quite some time now (fairly sure it's not listen in the mantas either). release versions need to happen more often, not to get beater versions out faster but to keep bugs under control. a release (fully tested) version should work and if they are reasonably often the number and complexity of the bugs could be kept under control. as it is at the moment you basically have a year or so to deeply embed bugs and make them very hard to fix. I'm not suggesting a version every week, maybe every 3 months, maybe longer but have some target and make it as short as reasonable. [/QUOTE]
