I've split this from the wiki-news thread because it doesn't have anything to do with the wiki.
Cheers,

Pretty clever of you to use the unclearly defined word 'soon' ;)
Been 10 days since that posting though... I'm sure I'm not the only person eagerly awaiting the next official release.
Guess for now i'll continue using CVS for my linux client, but I don't wanna start compiling for my windows client as well, for that I'd rather wait till the binary has been released...
Anyway, keep up the great work guys! :baby:

I think you got the wrong thread ;) Anyway, it's the same old story: Yes, we can set fixed release dates. And then just release at that date, no matter how many grave bugs / showstoppers are still in the code and how unstable the client is.
Or we can go with saying "soon" as in "it's mostly done, we only need to do some little adjustments" and then wait until we're finished. All of us have to do something besides amule for a living and some even have a life. I hate waiting for an unknown date until something is released, but I rather wait a little longer than getting the product on time and finding out that it is so bugged you can't even use it until the first three patches are out...

Amule, as other opensource projects out there is done on developers free time. There's no management who can force people fix bugs "right away" or set deadlines and ask people to reach it. There's technical difficalties even to talk to everyone at once given that developers live on opposite sides of the globe. Have patience :)

It must be said and re-said, and said again. most open source devlopers do that for a hobby. So, if you find bugs, well, instead of yelling for something you didn't and will never pay for, just give a help and in any case say "thanks" for what you got that works fine.
Thanks a lot for your dedication, guys ! Your job is outstanding !
