In reply to Dolphin 7 And Dolphin 8 Definitive Guidance

DosDawg•21st of September 2011

quite the turn around from the previous post where you were scrapping dolphin 7, you were scrapping Trident, and you were going to build an all new, all better, fully functional bug-free Dolphin 8.

so from the looks of what is posted, vague in its presentation, as are most of these blurbs, you have no time-frame for any updates scheduled for release on Dolphin 7, and it appears there is no working time-frame on Dolphin 8?

so all the bugs that got pushed to Dolphin 8, when are these going see more

Please, re-read the previous posts and you will find that I have repeated over and over and over that we are not scrapping Dolphin 7.

http://www.boonex.com/n/finish-what-we-started-or-move-on - this post is all about it. I find it hard to explain it more clearly. We scrapped Trident, and we work on Dolphin 7 - we work SO hard that we think we can call it Dolphin 8 when we finish.

As for time-frames, we do have them but there's no way we're announcing any. If you only care about time and need see more

andrew, i just posted what was stated. you claimed there were 6 updates finishing Dolphin 7, and that continuing updates could go on forever. I did read, i read it when you posted it. I was one of the ones begging and pleading that you at least finish Dolphin 7.

it was your statements that stated, clearly and not from guessing, but clearly stated that you were not developing for Dolphin 7 any longer. Then with an uproar from the community, it was realized that announcement was a bad idea, and see more

Sundance - The First Dolphin 8
It is shaping up to become the biggest and the most important Dolphin version update we have ever had. In recent weeks we realised that it is so grandiose that even updates to 6 and to 7 pale in comparison. Hence, we scrapped 7.1 and we scrapped Trident in favor of Dolphin 8 - Sundance.

"Hence we scrapped 7.1 and see more

I am talking about numbers only there and I specifically explained that "scrapped Dolphin 7.1" only means that we'll call it 8.0 instead of 7.1 as planned, because we're improving it more than planned. 8.0 is your 7.1.

Anyway, let me reiterate - 8.0 is a "much improved 7", and there will be many more 7.0.x updated over the next 2 years.

First of all, want to say great, that it has been your decision to complete Dolphin 7 and follow it through to the end. This is all that was asked for, is that you complete one version get it as stable as possible, then move on into the next level of development.

Though, your supposition "I am talking about numbers only there", again is misleading. Here is why, as we all sat waiting on bugs to be fixed, they would be slotted for this version or that version. Most everything it seemed see more
