Just wondering about 4.1 . . .

Does anyone have any idea at all how much longer it might be until 4.1 goes "gold"?

I was just hoping it would be pretty soon.

    Right there with you Stein. Would like to be able to start printing some things. :-)

    Until we see a beta come out with just bugfixes and no new feature enhancements, I think it's at least another week or two away. Beta 11 which just came out yesterday still had some new feature additions. And there've still been quite a number of crashing bugs found in the past two rounds. So even if Beta 12 (which will probably come out next Tuesday) is only bugfixes, I'm guessing it will require at least one more release after that to get to a stability level that they're comfortable with calling "gold." Since 4.1 has some pretty major new features, I think it might be even longer than that. So maybe by the end of September. I would prefer stability over getting it sooner if I weren't a beta tester. I know, patience is hard!

    Intriguingly  enough, this last few rounds have been the first time that I've experienced instability in any significant degree. 

    I agree, though, with the idea that it will be at least a few more weeks and end of Sept. is as reasonable an early guess as can be made.

    Hmm Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.

    The Mac version is slated to go gold October 1st. I'm guessing 4.1 will go gold at the same time.

    Interesting thought.  Are the printing features, etc also in the current Mac beta?

    Nope--the Mac 4.0 is matching Windows Logos 4.0d, minus the handout feature.  The Mac will get printing and sentence diagrams in a future Mac 4.1 release.

    There's really no reason to release Mac 4.0 and Windows 4.1 at the same time, especially if 4.1 is done before then.

    based on that Todd, I'd bet that 4.1 will be delayed until shortly after Mac's gold release.

    It would be "way bad" for Mac 4.0gold to be less than complete compared to the current windows version.

    With all of the bug and crash fixes in Beta 11 and the apparent stability I was thinking we could see an RC of 4.1 fairly soon. When will it go gold ....who knows

    It is not for us to know the times or seasons which BobP has put in his own authority.[:)]
