Thanks everyone for the great work! As a power user, plugin developer and (Q)GIS teacher (I face dozens of professional users frequently) I'm totally in favour to post-pone release and gain reliability and stability.
I don't think there's such a compulsive need to release sooner. Release often, release soon, will probably be necessary for the next minors (bug fixing). @Denis I was worried as you, but I believe an Osgeo4W user is a kind of user with enough skills to manage the switch. Most users will probably use the standalone installer.... I guess. giovanni Il 10 gen 2018 09:35, "Olivier Dalang" <[email protected]> ha scritto: > +1 for more stable release even if it's a few more weeks > > If feature freeze is confirmed, I would also suggest to send an email to > all plugin devs to say that no plugin will work anymore and to give some > pointers as to how to migrate the plugins to python/qgis 3.
