Hello
Just one curiosity: are unit tests run on all main platforms before
release? Apparently the nasty OgrConnectionPool issue triggered a
failure in the test suite on OS X, whereas on Linux it did not. So this
might be something worth considering for future releases.
Best,
Sandro

Hi
In my opinion, this has nothing to do with the release schedule. It
has mainly two reasons:
- QGIS is quite a large project. So testing really everything
(including complex interaction of different modules with GUI) is
impossible.
- There is a lot of development activity in QGIS. More development =
more possibility of unexpected side effects.
A longer feature freeze wouldn't help. The thing which does help is
the 2.8 version.

Marco

This post is in no way a criticism of any of the QGIS team and their
monumental efforts or their fabulous product. However, I thought someone
should question how successful the four-monthly release schedule is. 2.8
immediately needed 2.8.1, and there seems to be the chance that 2.10 is
immediately going to need 2.10.1.
Is the predestined release schedule meaning that the devs simply
cannot test
as much as they need? Alternatively, should the feature freeze be
extended?
Anyway, keep up the fabulous work, all of you. My organization has never
looked back since migrating to QGIS, and it is only getting better and
better.
Thanks
Tom
