v6: What is needed for release?

[cbk1994]

I'd rather see v6 first, then start adding new stuff—we don't need another cycle of adding a ton of new stuff then taking two years to test it before release. I think Stefan's purpose for this thread was to get a list of any bugs still existing or anything else absolutely needed before release, not new features.

This depends on the update methods Stefan uses for v6. With v5 all the new stuff was added to v6 so we didn't get anything. If he does the same thing to v6 and waits for another major update then I don't see the point.

My point is just that I would like to see him finish everything he needs to on v6 and then release it. Once that's done then he can focus on adding new features like color expansions. The reason v6 is taking so long to be released is that he started adding so many new things and didn't finish them.

Aye, I agree, but at the same time I don't want to wait another few years for "the good stuff."
