Petar Petrenko Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Hi, why RC2? Should we have to expect very soon v. 1.8 or maybe... 2.0? Maybe this is the reason why the roadmaps are not updated.

Frozen Death Knight Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 @Petar Petrenko I guess they forgot to upload RC1 or to label the previous build that? I do hope they update the roadmaps after Publisher is released along with news about 1.8 being in the works and a date for the Beta. I kind of doubt 2.0 is around the corner when Publisher is just about to launch. As nice as the software is with its baseline features, it would still feel a bit bad investing into the the first version just for Serif to release 2.0 without even a single free update. It would just feel like double dipping for early adopters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ingram Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 We made an RC1, but a last minute fix was added just after, so I made another build with that. The RC1 was distributed internally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petar Petrenko Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Thanks Mark, it is OK with me. But, usually RC# comes with some major update or upgrade and you recently gave us 1.7, so I'm confused with these RC# version. I expect you tell us nothing about that but I think/expect/hope some new version is on its way.

Frozen Death Knight Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 @Petar Petrenko Doesn't RC just stand for "Release Candidate", meaning that it is a candidate for going live since it is stable enough? You might have been overthinking it a little. ^^ Petar Petrenko and Mark Ingram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Ingram Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 You’ve just had a 1.7.0 release, but this is an RC for the 1.7.1 release. And there are plenty of bug fixes in it :-) SrPx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petar Petrenko Posted June 17, 2019 Author Share Posted June 17, 2019 Final, in this case, is supposed to mean 2.0. Not 1.7.1 or 1.8.

No, it means the final version that is shipped to the customer, regardless of version number. Anyway, that's enough discussion around versioning and naming, I have bugs to fix and features to write ;-). adirusf, Petar Petrenko, PetervL and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
