Not merging to stable

Hi,

Why isn't OB merged to stable updated regularly anymore?

I'm going to take a guess and say,

1) Holiday delays

2) Introduce the HARM for F-18 and make sure other bugs were not getting carried over.

Probably the reason for the hot fix today is because they probably want to update stable version on Wednesday before they start throwing more new stuff into beta.

Stable hasn't been update probably due to ongoing bugs.

Stable will be updated to 2.5.4.x once ED feel Open Beta is stable enough.

From what I've followed 2.5.4 has a bunch of issues, especially on the VR side, I'd hope they fix those before pushing it to stable. I can wait for candy.

:thumbup:

What everyone else said. They did a hotfix today to fix some critical stuff, so it's probably good they've held off.

The slow updates have been going on since last year so holidays probably isn't the reason. Updates are a month and a half between.

If they're doing it right merge doesn't mean that all changes go in at once but only the ones that are ready. In the post I posted OB would get updated every other week. Adding tons of changes only makes it harder if they're releasing all changes at once.

That's issues with VR in OB?

Where are you reading about progress? I can't find a post where I can see what changes are to be merged.

Probably not the holiday. There's a release to Stable a month and a half between since at least October last year.

If they're doing it right changes can be released if they are merged with the stable release regardless if everything else is fixed and OB is unstable. Sounds strange that they should work on a single branch. Also if they are on only one branch for OB the more changes that are coming in without releasing to stable the harder it'll be to release.

Where are you reading about what's new in OB? The news threads? It's hard to follow what's in and what's not.

Kazius, updating stable on Wednesday?

Hope an update for the stable will land tomorrow. :)

Stable is not on my PC anymore. We are flying Beta only with the squad since it is the only one being regularly updated.

Since there's a new changelog posted today for the OB, I'm guessing no update for the stable today?

doesn't seem like it

Yup, looks like things didn't go ok, and it was decided to update OB again.

Oki, thanks for your reply.

Just decided to switch to OB, running the updater now.

Thanks again NineLine. :)

Open beta got newer bugs even with the last update, see mavericks problems with a-10c.

I think it's better to have a fix before switching to stable. The purpose of a stable version is to avoid frequent new bugs, updates should pass to stable only when bugs free. So I'm not at all in a hurry for a quick update of stable branch.

I don't have beta on my PC anymore. Only stable for me.

Exactly this. If people want to be the beta testers, good for them, I'll wait a week or two and not have to deal with new things broken.

Release/Stable will be updated on Friday, provided this patch goes smoothly.

Steam version too?

I gotta uninstall the VR shader mod if so.

What about the stable version?

Hi, today is January 23 and the last update for the stable version was Dec. 12 (42 days ago), for the Open Beta are 3 updadates and a Hotfix and for the Stavble Version nothing.

In this post you said that the update for the Stable version is the next week from the release of the Open Beta.

see thread right below yours (last two pages i think by NineLine):

I'm no official reply-er, but lately, it seems if the OB is bugged, they continue to work the OB until it's good enough for release. It happens from time to time.

Yeah seems like lots of stuff broke in the beta. I'm not on the beta for a reason, so they can take their time.

They took some personal time for the holidays, we got the first patch of the year for open beta last week and they've been addressing some bugs that popped up.

The devs didn't guarantee a patch for stable every other week.. they outlined their gameplan. If you'd rather not wait out the bug hunting for content updates a bit sooner, convert your client to the open beta version. :)
