since you want real facts, I can tell you that being the responsible with
marcus of release dates
we do not take into account squeak releases and that we do not release as soon
as possible.
So I can ensure you that this is a false facts.
We do not take that into account. You can believe us or not this is not that
important. I just say it for the
record.
Now what we did was learning:
1.0 was too long mainly the beta phase because we were looking for a
copy and paste bug
that was randomly showing up. In such a case beta at the end was more
"this is public but
missing one bug fix". But since you like numbers you can count they way
you want.
After we are looking at logical moment to stop so that people can sync their
applications. But there is always the tension with new features getting ready.
We discuss milestones topics in the pharo sprint which was hold in the same
time than WCRE.
And we try to be features oriented. For example, we decided not to open 1.3
when 1.2 got beta and to
focus on not integrating easy bug fixes to get stability. In 1.1 it was
different since lot of fixes were accumulating.
