asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

Great. ^^

EDIT: I had a (newb -.-) question. Where is the changelog for this version? Is the roadmap?

"Detailed" is nice, but if it gets in the way of clarity, it ceases being a nice addition and becomes a problem. - TVT

I seriously hope thats a joke. 13 months between releases. using the dates for release didn't do the new Omen film much good so I doubt that its going to do Openarena much good. Its a content project for heavens sake. That whole pulse check thing was rubbish. I think the time release between openarena 0.7.6 and 0.7.7 where about right, and I loved both releases. The only think that warrens the 0.8 tag is the VOIP from ioquake3(a little bit of wee comes out every time I say that) Seriously I'm thinking 3 months not 13 months

Hehe, seems you feel concerned too with fancy dates.

It could be arranged to have as many intermediate versions as we need to accomplish that.
But for most project, minor and major version numbers have some meaning, and it may help to have that too with OA (if we don't already have).
Moreover, we just should release a version as soon as we feel one has to be done, without worrying about the date, and following these incremental rules. Some projects give a name to their versions to make it fancy. Otherwise the version number doesn't fulfil its goal.
What about OpenArena 8.8.alien then OA 999.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 ? Smiley

On the other hand, there are other numbers in between 0.8.0 and 0.9.0... it's not like you look at 0.7.0 and 0.8.0, and suddenly talk about 0.7.1, 0.7.6, and 0.7.7 like they never happened. Smiley

You can even have more than one digit if you wanted to, but then you'd get into discussions about whether 2.0.5 or 2.0.11 is the newer version (or, heaven forbid, a padded zero, like 2.0.07).

We might not like that. Smiley

From the IRC discussion I believe the version numbers will go like: 0.8.0 -> 0.8.1 -> 0.8.2 -> ... -> 0.8.46 -> ... -> 0.8.297366 etc.

But all those should be in patch form like 0.7.0->0.7.1

Patches are somewhat annoying especially with the choice of mirrors in the last release. I hope this has been thought through. especially if you have to patch more than one version revision.

The last patch was annoying because some of the changes required old binaries to be replaced.

0.7.0-0.7.1 was automatically installed to whoever had Autodownload enabled and patches of that type can be installed in any order
