With this argumentation a release can be delayed ad infinitum. Having written that, we have a release manager (Riki), and this is his call, not mine.

Re: Alpha 2? Beta 1?
Jürgen, to be honest ePub support is a killer feature (even for non-publishing users like me) and hence I'd really would like to see it making it into 2.4. Alpha/Beta doesn't matter to me as I can't make the switch (new file structure?) until it is production ready (or 2.3.7 (?) can read 2.4 files), due to the nature of my day job. Both my desktops (office/home) and both laptops (office/home) sync with each other at least daily. greetings, el On 26/01/2021 09:51, Jürgen Spitzmüller wrote: [...] > Me, too.

I would add that we shouldn't wait too long for new features. So if the ePub support is not there within a to-be-specified time, postpone it to a later release. OTOH I think a second alpha is fair if it is done soon. For beta, I would suggest to freeze features.

Per our own definitions alpha means only *few* new features are expected to happen for 2.4, beta means only *small* changes intended for 2.4. If you wait for ePub to finish then I think it's time for beta, if you want to push release now, then I'd still go with alpha. But I don't think it matters much in the end, Pavel -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel

I think I could work on that this week. For alpha vs. beta, I often see that alpha is near-release, but not yet feature-frozen, while the developers would like feedback on the current state of the software; beta is feature-frozen, with only bug fixes included in one release to the other (RC meaning that only critical bug fixes are being fixed). -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
Alpha 2? Beta 1?
Hi, all, A couple fairly significant regressions have now been fixed in Alpha 1, so it looks like time to do another release. The default would be to go with Alpha 2. But, besides some missing layout files (my fault) and a problem opening files, we have not had any serious bug reports from Alpha 1 (that aren't already in 2.3.x). Should we think about a beta release? To be honest, I don't know myself what people think the difference is between the two, so I'd welcome suggestions.
