I have been oddly very slow with the idea on upgrading to latest version of EE. And yet, it still seems to be unstable.
Would it be good idea to move into “stable releases” so that all those updating/other pretty common issues that comes every single update, has been fixed. I dont have time anymore to be the bug finder unless EL pays me $50/month for basic upgrading and “whattaheck” findings, Premium bugfinding service plan costs $1000/month with one free bugtracker submission…
Also, there should be for customers 2-installation license for live website. One that is actually running the OLDER version of EE, and the second that i could duplicate and just have as an testing site in LIVE instead of local…
It was “fun” to find bugs but honestly it has started to take too much time taken from elsewhere because trying to figure out is is safe to upgrade (meaning bugtracker surfing 2-3-4 weeks every second day after new version has come out).
Oh well, i love EE (yep, still in love), but just dont have any innovation anymore to hop into new version just to find my site messed up. Featuring new features is false promoting since they seem to bring a LOT of bugs every time, and the reason seems to be that tests havent done as they should before releasing.
Have a good one, at least 99% of add-ons are working every single time when installing and using them…
The old system was reasonable, but with this present pay for support is something weird - is it a bug, is it a bug because user is using 3rd party add-on etc. How i or many of us even knows those before the makers gets involved and might perhaps cooperate.
Anycase, in Finland we have different culture and this post of mine might sound very bad. Its not ment that way. I just want justice for product that i have paid for.
Chance the releases from “new version” to something else and hit the blog when Stable one has arrived?
