It's a shame it had to come to that.

[misko27]

I have to say this part:

...getting it up to a state where it isn't an utter and fundamental degradation of the currently released version. There are crashes, optimizations that need doing, dwarves that seem to potter off without thinking in between certain jobs, and all manner of other trouble.

was interpreted by me less as "Ooo final step!" then as "Ooo, that sounds bad". For one he is going to want to be damned sure any bugs that would require breaking save-compatibility to fix are squashed.

Which is good for me personally actually. I hope it's delayed to the summer, or at least post-SATs.

There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for all this arguing. We are hyped to the T and thus we need something to get busy while waiting for our fix...

While at it, Pi Is Exactly 3.


Discuss....

3. (3+3+3)/9*1+2=3. Half-life Pi confirmed.

I think people are very bored to spend this much time arguing over such a small thing...it will take as long as it does...I would imagine thats at least a month...and frankly would prefer he fix it + some older nagging bugs...but we shall see

Maybe it will keep everyone occupied until the release takes them by surprise.

The last devlog killed all the expectation I had for a release in the next weeks.

How? Was your expectation of debug time somehow different than the one the devlog put forward?

If you ask me, we'll end up with DF2014 by the first week of may, or, if we're really lucky, the end of April.

[Mipe]

You do realize we're talking issues, right? Crashes, gamebreaking bugs and stuff?

We'll be lucky if it gets done this summer...

I was expecting something positive like "Well guys, there only some bugs left. I will do some cleaning and make a release soon. It will be fun, he he he"

And then the release drops and everyone's all excited and tries it out, has some fun, waits until the round of bug fixing and low hanging fruit is done over the next few months, then gets bored and starts hyping themselves up for the next major release 2-3 years away... -.-

I don't understand. What about it? :S

Content updates to note are 0.34.08, 0.34.06, 0.31.19, 0.31.17 and 0.31.13. Look at the time those took.

It will be when magic gets implemented and wizards can alter universal and mathematical constants.

Ahahaha!  Nailed it.

So?
I seen you already tried to "prove" that major releases do not take that long. Reality says otherwise. In fact, I would be not surprised if next major release would beat current record. For certain it will not be short.

It will be when magic gets implemented and wizards can alter universal and mathematical constants.

And then everyone will die horribly (or not horribly, some of these are so fast you will not feel anything) as soon as first magic user uses his powers.
