When is the next release coming? And does it do (insert your favorite feature request here)?
Problem:
What is the llamas' schedule for new features - what is in the next release?Solution:
There are never any announcements on timelines or feature lists for future releases.We are a three person company with very limited development resources, and if one of us should happen to get the sniffles, or if there are other outside factors to consider, it can easily impact our intended development schedules.
In planning releases, we try to strike a balance among
-responding to customer requests,
-the needs of our various partners,
-supporting features on new devices,
-supporting new operating systems,
-providing consistent features across the product line and through the conduit
-working efficiently within the structure of the code, (similar features often get handled at the same time),
-and the needs of the business.
I would not make any assumptions on how those various factors interact. We try to plan our releases with a long term perspective so that they ultimately serve the needs of our customers, even if they don't necessarily get in everyone's favorite feature request every time.
