New Version Lazarus

(1/2) > >>

Onjahyr:
Much has changed since it has many new features, why not create a new version to download?
Only the functionality of having only one button on the task bar is a good reason to make a new version for download.

So today we should have ver 5408  of Lazarus  8)

dtoffe:
    I don't agree you must release with every single added functionality, but perhaps he has a point regarding bug fixes. In the latest stable there are a number of bugs that are already fixed in trunk.
    Some time ago I tried to connect a grid to a stored procedure by connecting data controls one to another, more or less in the same way it can be done in Delphi 7. I found some errors that were already filed in the bug tracker and some of them were even already fixed by the time I looked at them, and daily snapshot worked fine.
    I know the dailies are good enough to work with, but having a latest stable download with many bugs that are already fixed in trunk doesn't seems good to me, since many newcomers go straight for the latest stable.
    On the other side, I understand dailies might have some not-broken but incomplete new features, and that doesn't seem to be good for a stable release either. Besides, making a release takes time, frequent releases would waste a lot of developer time.
    Anyway, Lazarus is getting so much better every day, I don't really see a reason to complain.

I guess Lazarus should't become a one of these open never-stable projects,
those are not capable of stable usage at any-time. always (alpha) beta during all their history of development.

Day by day they release only alphas, betas. Without having finished a real stable "prodution release",
they heading to another "stable" (infact beta) releasing.

So they never had it stable.
