7.0 has been in "testing", not "unstable" state for a week or so now. "Unstable" is the new 7.0.1. Other software projects would call 7.0 a release candidate rather than a beta at this point.
And in regards to "why do we have to wait so long" - well, there are pretty massive changes. Everything in the web UI, scanning, SN integration, synch, plugins and of course the inclusion of the SBC and the SBR which has necessitated changes in SC from time to time. The SBC functionality has been largely sorted but the beta testers have only had their SBRs for a week or two now and there are some tricky SBC/SBR interactions when setting up the SBR which might be delaying things a bit. If you were to see the number of checkins you'd know the developers are working -feverishly- on it. Given that the Duet hardware is being manufactured now (the first batch may already be produced but might have been delayed by weather) the pressure to get 7.0 released must be pretty intense... -- Mark Lanctot Ben Klass: "I won't even eat a pre-7.0 meal.
