Hi, i personally stick to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_early,_release_often That's an important argument. Ede, would you have some time to oversee the release itself ? Matthias, what's you opinion ? and - Should we make a vote about zoom tools to include/exclude ? - Is it possible to

Lots of good discussion on this topic. I'm also a fan of release early, release often. Does it make sense to drop a release candidate on GIS day, instead of our next official release? Then we can ask super users to do bug testing on the release candidate before our official release is made. I'm

Hi, well.. I think, with respect to the fact that we have nightly builds, I would rather vote for a really ready to go release. Especially as translations (and testing) will take time. But I guess most bugs are found when people complain after the release??? I'm afraid you're right Stefan, and

GIS day is on November 14. Is there any interest in putting together an official release of OpenJUMP for GIS day? I'm on vacation the week of November 5 to November 9, so I could help with the work to put together and package a release. Landon

Hi Landon, Seems time to speak about 1.6 release, My opinion is that November 14 is too soon. Feature in 1.6 roadmap which have not yet been started can be postponed, but on-going developments still need to be polished and translated. I think it would be more reasonable to plan the release for
