[Qgis-user] QGis and developpement version

[Petit frère]

Hi,


On various forums, when I asked some question, I have got more and
more answer like that: "you can do this with the development
version of QGis 1.9... but you can't with the current version..."
It is quite frustrating! Why QGis don't do like some other opensource
software, propose the both version on their website (the current and
the development one with a message which inform that it is not a
stable version)? I know that I can found this development version,
but I find it quite a shame to have to looking for this version and
not to find it on the main website, especially for software that
tries to be very friendly user.
User of several opensource software's, I find it quite a shame.

So why it is not easier to access to the version 1.9, even if it is
not accomplished? or why some people do reference to this version,
while it is not available on the official website? It will soon be a
year since we are with the 1.8 version … And for some other
installation on linux computers, the default version is the 1.7,
there is some steps before getting the current version. So I know
that can seem very easy for some advanced users, but for some others
(I saw that around me), it is not so easy, and it is pity that for
these persons there is not more updates with some improvements which
runs well on the development version. 

Just to share my point of view, don't worry, I'm not angry against
QGIS, which I find excellent, it's just a reaction to the answers on
many forums that refer to this version.

Cheers.

Oni
