[mapguide-internals] Mapguide 2.0.2 Point release?

[Maksim Sestic]

Crispin,

Troubles you're having with frequent releases is not a half of troubles I
have with lazy Autodesk launching schedule on MapGuide Enterprise
updates/patches (based on MGOS codebase minor version number changes) :-)
How in the world am I going to explain to my prospects that open source
release is better than Autodesk's commercial one? :-) What's the subsciption
option doing then? I already elevated this via ADN, months ago. Finally,
clients resorting to commercial option are willing to pay double (even
triple) the price - just to have the thing working properly. Having the MGE
server price tripled, it's still peanuts to ESRI's offerings. Clients are
throwing the money to them instead, this situation indirectly hits MGOS
development too.

Regards,
Maksim Sestic

Hi,

Can I reiterate Zac's point here.  I was fairly calm about this as I watch
trac and until yesterday the 2.1 release was scheduled for next week.  Now
it has just fallen off a cliff and gone back three months which affects
either our deployment or architecture for several projects.

Whilst I appreciate that this is MG OS it is really helpful to the community
to have openness about realistic release schedules.

The FF3 patch provided gives me a route to using 2.0.1 but "It makes a big
difference to people trying out Mapguide if things just work out of the box
which will help adoption".

 Thanks for listening, Crispin
