Hi all,

great!! Another final version full of long known bugs! I can't wait until
we have 4.0 Final, buggy as 3.5 Final but then with an upgrade fee. It's
like Microsoft where I also do betatesting. You have a timetable and follow
it, regardless of what should be done before releasing the software.

As I mentioned in <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> there are still
many unfixed issues and non of these issues was commented or fixed between
my last mail (RC9) until the final version:

Connection Center appearance:
<mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(noticed in RC5 or 6)

Visual (folder bars) / Remote Desktop / SMIME / Windows Server 2003:
<mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
(noticed in 3.0.9.19, S/MIME also in the first and early beta 3.x versions)

Also I'm still waiting for this 16 month old issue:
https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=2333

See, most of the users are using finals of TB and will have to live with
these "cosmetic" bugs months or years (if they do not upgrade). So in my
opinion it would be better to fix all the open bugs and then continue to
increase the version number from 3.0 to 3.5.

I'm VERY VERY frustrated right now. It seems that only the showstopper bugs
play a role here in the group. Everything which is not great but in some
kind of way usable is ignored. For me mentioning not the showstoppers but
the (as 9Val called these bugs before) "cosmetic" bugs, I feel more or less
dispensable here in the group.

Also I think that the Bug Tracking System you are offering on your website
is useless and just holds people away from doing something useful. There
are so many issues which are a year old or even much older.

Again, 9Val, I don't want to be personal. I complain about Ritlabs and
their betacycle and release policy, not about you.

(Before somebody complains about this mail because it was mentioned during
the last days: No, I did not read any of the ~900 messages I got during the
weekend because I wasn't hat home and did not have the time yet to go
through the mails.)

Regards,
Martin
