I hear you. A little bit of patience. We all want that. For now all I can say is that Santa Claus is coming soon. Given how poor we are, this means a *source* release. There can't be a binary release before a source release anyway. Given how many people/resources have been gravitating toward building and testing binaries in recent releases, maybe the time between the source and the binary release can be further shortened. And as far as *all* platform goes: there won't be support for Android or iOS (it has not even started yet) and I doubt anybody will want to spend time trying to make the latest code work on Windows 98 despite the fact that it was a hugely popular platform once upon a long ago. So you will excuse me if I lower your expectations, and say that we do whatever effort we can to have the source code build on the "main supported platforms" - a definition that changes over time and depends on the resources available to the project; and that we strive to have quality builds available for said platform, and that this too is a matter of time and resources. All I can promise from my side is that I am working on: - getting the migration to the LP tracker done - cleaning up the visual appearance of the app (Cristian's design has been waiting for too long) - getting a source release out before Christmas (first beta likely toward the end of the week, to start drumming up support from the builders on the different platforms) - getting a robust build infrastructure for distribution on Ubuntu. Lucid, and Jaunty (work already, is just a matter of time that I don't have). Maybe Maverick (though I am afraid breaking my workstation in the process of upgrading and I need it for work too. And over Christmas I won't have access to my HTPC on which I do the rather experimental creepy stuff, so maybe Maverick and Natty will be for early January). - getting the source package produced approved so that they will flow into the official Natty release 11.4 (by then we might have another release and the Hugin PPA will take up where the Ubuntu distro left). That said, I still have a family (and my son just told me that supper is on the table) and a life, so no matter how badly you want it, I may not be able to give it to you and I won't apologize for that.
