Re: [Adonthell-devel] To release or not to release?

[Andrew Phillips]

I vote for immediate release. Based on the screenshot and the work I know y'all have been doing, what we currently have is a substantial development from alpha1. We wouldn't be whistling in the dark if we were to call this build alpha2.

 

The shadowing changes, I think, can wait on the results of Tyler's work. We who remain behind (have fun, by the by) can field any questions that come along.

First of all, an updated worldtest is in CVS, which looks as can be
seen on the attached screenshot.

I haven't yet started on separating the shadow and am wondering if
that should be included in alpha 2 at all. For one, it would involve
changes to the animation class, which might conflict with the work
Tyler is doing right now. And second, even if I would finish the work
in a week or two, I'd be gone on vacation directly afterwards, having
no time to release anything until mid April.

So the question really is, should I take what we have and stick it out
there, even if it's not completely perfect? That could give us some
more exposure now, but it might just happen that I am unable to
respond to interested developers over the weeks to follow. However, I
would think that at least a couple of people are around to fill my
position :-). I would also update the open tasks and change the
roadmap to conform to the new 'masterplan'
(http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/adonthell-general/2008-02/msg00031.html).

So what's your opinion? Is recent CVS good enough for a v0.4 alpha 2?
