FYI: We have found some showstoppers and need some more time to fix them, so Beta4 is at least a day late...
First off all: What do you mean with showstoppers? Are these the 'blockers' from the buglist?
Some of the worst blockers from the buglist: * Installation from physical CD media is not working (network installation works as well as install from the first CD - just the media change is not handled correctly). * If you did an installation from an ftp tree with packages for multiple architectures in it - like the factory tree - sometimes the package for the wrong architecture was choosen.
Second: Maybe it is an idea to have, in the future, more time between the beta's so that the time is more flexible. The first roadmap was fast like an Ferrari but now it has to be slowed down to a Lada :P. I see that some blockers are introduced with ZEN, so that is a reason that you could not calculate into she roadmap. But maybe some more time does not hurt.
We'll do some extra betas until all this has settled down. Beta4 will be a bit rough as seen from the list of "Most Annoying Bugs".
If the beta is finished, and the development is 4 days ahead of the schedule,
That won't happen ;-(
you have 4 more days for the next beta so that will be ready in time as well even when strange things happen. And if you have 'remaining time' with all
We have some puffer in it to make a timely release but sometimes it just does not work.
releases then you can releases the Final earlier then planned on the roadmap....That's nice to show up in news with insteas of 'had been delayed'
We're currently doing weekly betas - and in the past I've been critized because not all of our betas were not published...
