Gustavo/others, 3.4 is definitely overdue. I will be sending out the details and date for 3.4 release. It should be soon (within weeks and not months). As for code quality, I am really surprised that folks are trying to debate about code quality of a product that has been in production for 3 years, is proven and used many big software/financial companies. I have never seen any software been in production ofr 3-4 years have perfect codebase. Parts of software always need re work (thats what usually happens with software running/sustained for a while).
I am really sad this issue being brought up on dev list again. I hope we can have more fruitful conversations than "code quality" on the mailing list. thanks mahadev On Fri, Jun 10, 2011 at 2:18 PM, Gustavo Niemeyer <[email protected]> wrote: >> I had a long talk with Thomas at Buzzwords. >> >> He is far more congenial in person than on the mailing lists. > > Whether he's kind or not isn't really the concern at this point.
