Yeah, that's called "buyer's premorse" (the inverse of "buyer's remorse"). In commercial products, it slows down sales required to fund the new development when people wait for the new version. In $free projects it usually recruits more help in the project as it nears a new release.

Yeah, me and you both...  I have a depressing feeling that 7.10 won't make it to us before Christmas...  the poor developers have lives too..  and we're coming up on the weekend before the holiday...

No, definitely not alone, I'm logging on 5-6 times every day, just waiting for "that post"!

"... the suspense is killing me...."!

I just hit refresh on my browser.  ::) Oh well my have to start the Holiday Cheer.  :-\  I hope my hang over is not that bad when 0710 comes out.

Post by: danielk on December 21, 2007, 12:09:30 am
We're trying very hard to get things done before this weekend.

If we don't make it, then it's going to come out after the holidays.

But I'm more hopeful today than I was yesterday.

Champion effort!
Title: Re: Is it just me?
Post by: tkmedia on December 21, 2007, 01:50:53 am
Great Job guys :)

We are all just very anxious to see the great things that will be coming in 0710. :o
It is just so tough not knowing.

Thanks again :-*

and I'll try to be patient. ::)

I'm busy working through the wiki, testing various instructions and revising them.

It might change with 0710, but if it doesn't, then the docs (and my setup) will be ahead of the game. If it does, I'm already familiar with the old process, which should put me ahead of the game in revising it again to work with the new version. And anyway, it gives me something constructive to do while I wait for the release. Very exciting.

I'm madly trying to finish my insteon drivers..  hopefully, with auto configuration..
I'm not sure if I can have them ready for the 710 release.. it'll be close!
I've been informed that they can be a quick update after the 710 release if needed..

Definitely not the only one. I'm here (lurking) several times a day as well. Also waiting for 7.10 before I build a new rig.  ;D

Do you mind if I post an announcement to the Users and Developers forums?

maybe you want to include a link to Daniel's post on the dev list:
http://www.charonmedia.org/pipermail/lmce-dev/2007-December/000205.html

but the beta is hardly tested. I just finished installation in a vm.

Well I would not use the words 'hardly tested'... its been tested pretty heavily here! But there are rough edges still... thats why its a Beta ;-)

Enjoy!

PS Beware this version will not be upgradeable to the release... you will need to do a new clean install

So tempting....but something tells me I should just wait. Nothing like toasting your system for xmas because you didn't know what you were doing.  :)

Hari - just started downloading, but I noticed that it is 5.12GB - is this supposed to fit on a single DVD, single layer, or do I need a dual layer blank? I will probably start in VM so I can use the .iso directly but for when I do want to burn it to media...

I am warming up my burner but do I need to run out and get some dual layers. ???

Yes you'll need a Dual layer disc for the upgrade iso

I'll take that as a "yes" then.

Also, I wondered how development was going on with the deserted maillist (http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=166973) linked from the LMCE.o homepage. That link should be changed from the little used SourceForge page to the real page at CharonMedia (http://www.charonmedia.org/mailman/listinfo/lmce-dev).


but the beta is hardly tested. I just finished installation in a vm.

Well, that's the point of a beta: testing, by people not on the dev team. More feedback to use to make it better faster.
