Bug fixes.
« on: May 24, 2011, 12:40:06 pm »
How long does Toady spend on bug fixes after each release?

It might only be a few days but would it be more efficient (not to mention better for players) if people from the community helped out bug fixes after versions?

Does this already happen?

We help out by finding the bugs.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Depends on the bug. Some are still there from years ago, some he fixes quickly. And depends on the release. Usually it seems he has a content release then a bugfix release.

Yes. There is a bug tracker which is kept pretty up to date. You should check it out.
