Hello,
We are wondering what is the lifecycle of iFolder and what kind of 
expectations we should have as users when it comes to releases of iFolder.

Simply put, while there have been many bugs reported, and subsequentially 
fixed, we've been waiting for a release to include them. Current hope is that 
version 3.8 will have those fixed.

My question is: what should we expect from the iFolder development team in 
terms of releasing minor versions that contain said bug fixes? Version 3.7.2 
was out in March, it's almost Novemeber now, and I'm not sure whether there 
will be a 3.7.3 release. That's 6 months, and counting, without ability to 
take advantage of bug fixes.

As we look forward to using this software, we are interested in knowing what 
lies ahead. While I do recognize it requires a lot of hard work, 
unfortunately it poses a big problem for us, and likely others. Our users 
won't be satisfied if we have to tell them that a bug we discover in version 
3.8.0 will be fixed 6 months later in 3.8.1, and that will affect whether 
iFolder is a viable solution for us. 

I'd appreciate any insight on this subject.

Thanks!
