I think the current approach is right. Frequent release give users access to new features as soon as they are stable, some users just don't like installing "nightlies". Users know there is no "test dept" and also that internet services are changing rapidly and adding features/uodates to LMS has to proceed at that pace or else it could become irrelevant to users. In a year of Covid, the pace of release was fast - 7.9.2 was released Jan 2020 followed by 7.9.3. (& 7.9.4), 8.0 and now 8.1. Bugs are bound to be in a new release - think about Windows release problems. Eager users accept that there'll be bugs but also they'll be fixed quickly. Cautious users just wait for a few weeks after a release just like they do for an OS or any "critical" piece of s/w. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113524 _______________________________________________ Squeezecenter mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
