yoreei Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) Hello, I saw a few days ago that a feature freeze for Alpha 20 Milestone was due soon but now that I've come back to check the roadmap http://trac.wildfiregames.com/roadmap I see that the freeze was postponed 3 weeks ahead. Why is that so? I don't mean to put pressure for the Alpha 20 release, I am just curious about the reasons for this. Maybe there are not enough new features added to the game since Alpha 19? Thinking positively, this allows lybomirv and me to make the Bulgarian translation even better for Alpha 20 Edited February 2, 2016 by yoreei Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av93 Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It happens always With alpha 19, it was postponed a lot of months cause the new pathfinder introduced a lot of bugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly that's the case when a release gets delayed. Another (very) common cause is that there are game breaking bugs found that need to be fixed prior to a release.

Yes, I know about alpha 19. Things is, we knew the exact tickets as they were marked "release breakers" we don't have such tickets now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see how game breaking bugs can slow down a release but what I was talking about was the feature freeze. If there are game breaking bugs, it's not the right time to accept new features for the Alpha 20 release (new features = new bugs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niektb Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Ah yes, I was mainly talking about delaying the release in general Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoreei Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I guess then the reason it was delayed was lack of new features since Alpha 19. Can anyone confirm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leper Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 It wasn't delayed, the date for the milestone just isn't something anyone cares about. If it would make you happier I could set it to some random date some years in the future instead of some weeks, but that wouldn't change a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to change it or remove it unless there are a lot of people that get confused by it (Which is not the case). Alright, does the new forum have a "Solved" feature?
