So this week was loads of "putting heads together". In the wake of a new partial lockdown in Germany and a few nerving inconveniences, we think it would be best to do a very conservative estimate. For instance, we only have 1 of the new Apple kits, and it'll probably take a month of posting it around to the people who need it. Releasing Hive 2.1 without support for new Arm based Macs does not seem like a good idea to us, because it would slow these updates down for everything else. We're kind of in the middle of upgrading our infrastructure anyway (and more modern compilers & faster code for Windows as well, yay!)Urs wrote: Fri Oct 23, 2020 12:47 pmThere are 104 open tickets which need attention. Many of these should be pretty minor, some are in the category of "good to have", but some actually require some serious development and planning.
I think what I'm saying is, I'm trying to figure that out myself. After working with the development version I wasn't expecting the need for much change - it worked flawlessly after all -, but I guess some things have piled up over the past few months.
There is certainly a good chance that we'll have some kind of beta/preview of Hive 2.1 in December, provided everything runs well (e.g. no-one catches that stupid virus). But with sound design and the usual bunch of surprises, and generally trying to avoid an update shortly before x-mas vacations this year, we have pretty much agreed to set a release date mid/end of January and that'll be totally fixed.
