Topic: Happy birthday, 0.22
This is quite a shameful birthday. Two years ago we were releasing the 0.22 version of QElectroTech. Of course, this means two years without the urgent need to release a 0.23 version to fix a major problem in our current stable version. But this means a two-years gap without a release. This has also meant relatively long periods with no news. Still, the project is alive: new commits appear in our 0.3 branch (alas unmonitored by some tools like Ohloh), builds for Windows and Debian are regularly produced, new threads pop in the forum, new translators apply to translate the application...
The next stable version (0.3) has been delayed several times, due to incompleteness compared to the always-moving roadmap, and lack of time on my own. The recent improvements were not judged sufficient to tag the 0.3 version right now: the title block template system still needs a bit of polishing, texts-related improvements have to be fully tested again, printing has to be checked against regressions and recently reported problems, etc. However, no major feature shall be added to the current 0.3 branch in order to get a release-compatible version of QElectroTech as soon as possible. Stay tuned ;-)
'n+1' trivial tasks are expected to be accomplished in the same time as 'n' tasks.
Logg's Rebuttal to Gray's Law:
'n+1' trivial tasks take twice as long as 'n' trivial tasks
