Yes we are expecting the next RC to be available this weekend together with SDK etc.
This is what I really hate. Don't tell me deadlines. I don't mind if you don't release it for another 2 months but don't tell me you do. Tell me when it's done.
You know that if you say "this weekend", people don't think about sunday 23:59:59...
They think "ok, then I will be able to reflash it in the weekend, I don't go out then", etc.
So, I don't want to hurt your feelings, but then don't hurt mine. It's pretty disappointing to wait for something then you always get a "later".
An alternative (not for the weekend thing, rather for the long releasing periods and the many unpatient user): Make a CVS or something alike, then everybody can check out the stuff if one is really eager to use it.
But don't tell untruths.
Thanks,
Zumi
EDIT: I haven't seen Laze's post, because I forgot to refresh before posting. The point stays the same: try to be a bit more precise in the releases and a bit less "user friendly" (hey, it's an RC, not a final). Zumi
