Continuing AM 4.0.2 Bugs

#1 Post by Sling »

Can the AM release version get fixed. Considering it’s the release version I think all existing functions should work as advertised. If it’s a new feature or enhancement I understand it will go to the beta but bug fixes for existing features should be resolved in the current release version I think. It still has these bugs.

All 3 cause instruments to not work correctly. In the case of the sound related one it causes CTD.

Hi,


Most of these issues have been fixed in the AM 4.1 BETA.
I'm planning to release the BETA within the month (hopefully).


Just a couple of smaller issues to resolve and CTD,

Corjan

I do understand but if you are not using the beta any instrument that uses any of these functions is un-usable. Some folks fly on the stable release and develop on the beta or vice versa, others prefer to stick with one. When people stick with the beta and then complain its buggy they are advised to use the release version, and here lies the problem. The release version is probably more buggy than the beta right at this moment. I really think when something in the release version is broke it should have a hotfix applied. Sounds like it might not be worthwhile this time round but certainly something to consider during the next cycle.

Hi,


It is all an act of balance.

Note that I'm the only main developer of AM. Having to track individual issues for both release and beta branches is more time consuming, so I'd rather keep that simple.

The three issues you bring up are issues that certainly need addressing, but they are not critical for I would say 99.9% of the AM users.
When we get a lot of tickets or remarks of something not working properly on the release branch, we will address it as a hotfix.
