Next release

[Lego3]

Hi!

Do you think we should continue with the 3 month release iterations?

There aren't any main new features, and I would like to see some more
stability concerning VIPs and patients getting empty action queues
before making a new release. I'm working on some better handling of
the latter, but it won't be finished until January.

I will not have time to do the actual release around christmas either
so it would have to be someone else.

What do you guys think?

I am still working on epidemics currently but won't have a release before Christmas due to other commitments. I am aiming for some time in Jan.

How close are we to getting the core functionality of the original game done? Releases will probably slow a bit after that I guess.

IMO you could get away with not doing a beta 9 before Christmas if you
were to make it more obvious that there is a development snapshot that
you can download. Although that only helps if you have windows or
know how to complie.
As others have said there have not been any big additions recenlty, so
you could perhaps delay the next big release when there is more in the
game and more bugs have been fixed (Springtime perhaps, if the devs
have the time)
