Absolutely. Interesting that the engineer effectively says that XCode
is still not good (complete) enough yet to handle their code, and yet
there are morons berating Adobe for not having transitioned earlier!
And of course even Apple's own pages say it's not quite as simple as a
recompile. Another Jobs reality distortion field...
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it's not easy for RS, but at the same
time the closest we've had is "by the end of the year".
Which, if they ship it in April, May, June, July, August, Sept, Oct,
nov or Dec is still "by the end of the year"
Basically we'll have it before 2007 starts.
Sooner would be great, but I'd rather it was right, not rushed
As I understand it, with the rapid release model, a new version is
released every 3 months.
No. We should have one at least every 90 days.
We could have more versions if they happen to come out sooner than that.
So we have one in April, one in July, one in October, and perhaps the
January one brought forward a couple of days so it sneaks in to
December and "by the end of the year". Most people seem not to expect
UBs in the April release, but they would like to know in which of the
other 3 releases they are likely to get it.
This time line is a huge assumption that releases only come out every
90 days, which past experience has already shown to be untrue.
They arrive at least every 90 or so days.
The rapid release model is not a hard and fast "every 90 days".
It's intended to be a "more or less every 90 days" from what I
understand.
And with Apple releasing MacIntel "earlier than anticipated"
(according to Adobe), possibly dropping non-UB software from the web
and stores, the XP fuss, and the media now even saying PPC is
obsolete, the clamour over MacIntel (no doubt because it was on the
cheap models rather than high end first) from consumers, press and
MwRb customers, I think it is time for RS to give its best guess on
which release they think they can make.
That would be nice, but I doubt we're going to get a date.
