+1 for me for Paolos suggestion .. I think releasing 1.7 with a lot of bugs and instability will bring us no friends .. reclassify and/or solve at least a lot of them would be very cool (from usersight) So if i can help just drop me a note - it's just i think i cannot help solving the bugs ;)

I think releasing as a beta would be a good idea, that way we get 1.7 release out but users know it's not fully done. This way it also gives us more time to do bug fixing. - Nathan On Tue, May 31, 2011 at 6:16 PM, Werner Macho werner.ma...@gmail.comwrote: +1 for me for Paolos suggestion .. I

I share your concern but no one has actually the time or manpower to solve these bugs, and to be honest I don't think that postponing the release any longer will improve the situation. This release has enough good points to compensate, I hope all this shiny stuff will blind the users enough so

wow +1 for me on that .. a really good idea .. beta + call for funding to solve last bugs .. in that way some companys will probably see that there is a lot of work and time invested in opensource and it would be nice to bring us all ahead by supporting qgis .. we do not have licence issues :)

Hi, I agree with Paolo's concerns, and I also believe that ordinary users can benefit from testing the 1.7.0. In addition, they may find a few more blocking bugs... which ultimately may help the community provide an even better version. So +1 for a beta release. Mayeul Le mardi 31 mai 2011 à

+1 for release as a beta. I share Paolo's unease about a full release with 60 major bugs. It takes much more effort to build a good reputation than to loose one. In the documentation, we are quick to highlight new tools and enhancements, but how about adding something on Known Issues and

Dear QGIS developer, i am not a QGIS developer but would add my 2c too. :) I completely share the opinion of Markus and Paolo. Please do not release QGIS with 60 blocker bugs left even as a beta release. This will disappoint many user who are willingly to test the new features and the usability
