> Runrev, here is your release history. Under the current licensing modelwhich of these would have been called maintenance releases and which would have been called feature releases? 2.1 and 1.1 are the non-obvious ones. 2.0 clearly was a feature release.
Version 2.1: August 25, 2003 Version 2.0.3: August 22, 2003 Version 2.0.2: July 14, 2003 Version 2.0.1: June 4, 2003 Version 2.0: May 26, 2003 Version 1.1.1: April 2, 2002 Version 1.1: November 5, 2001 Version 1.0: July 1, 2001
My boss just asked me if we should get the SBE renewal license or the new Studio license and I told him that I really have no idea which would be a better value.
Hi Alex
I wouldn't count anything prior to the 2.0 release in your reasoning here. 2.1 is a feature release. My understanding is the numbering scheme goes: major.feature.bugfix
I've commented on the improve list (without any reply) that unless there are a minimum or 4 feature releases per year that the Enterprise Edition is more expensive to maintain than the Studio Edition. Two Studio Editions could be upgraded 3 times per year for $294. One Enterprise Edition can be maintained for $299.
It should be noted that Since the release of 2.0 RunRev has managed 3 bugfix releases and a feature release in under 3 months. All this while attending a number of trade shows, buying MC and changing the licensing scheme. Therefore one would assume that RunRev intend to deliver on the 4 feature releases per year.
If it were me and I had two months up my sleeve I'd wait and make sure the < 3 month cycle continues.
Regards
Monte
It is nice to get new features each quarter but at the same time, as the above timetable nicely illustrates, each feature release is followed by a couple of bugfix releases. Keeping up an aggressive (as in frequent) feature release schedule practically warranties that some bugs slip through. I personally can't afford being in more or less regular upgrade/bug-hunt/bug-fix cycle. So I dare to say that 2, top 3, feature releases per year are enough. What that means in terms of licensing costs is another story.
