Alright folks, enough of the flaming, and bashing other people. Keep the discussions civil please.
If you want a checklist, here you go:
- Update & reverse all the things left to do
- Fix all the broken API references
- Refactor classes & namespaces to where they are more appropriate.
- Double-check all of WoW wrapper API to ensure it's not returning false values (and by all, I mean all 3000+ properties, 1500+ methods, and the other 350 or so structures). This includes getting a character to specific "test" points in the game to ensure these values, and some other "hope we can get a test scenario" in other areas (eg; PVP)
- Ensure the default things provided with HB aren't completely useless and broken.
- Test everything.
- ... clean up threads from people who can't figure out a calendar.
That's just a generalized checklist for the public. I won't be posting my personal checklist, as well... I can't actually fit it all in one (or two) posts.
Also; to give you a better analogy, we're like your typical tiny software company who relies on 3rd party software to operate, between 5 different games, with only 5 developers (4 of which are busy with other things, or on vacation). Oh wait... that's not typical at all...
I realize some of you "want it now", and so do we. But unfortunately, this stuff takes time. I wish I could wave a magic wand and have it done a few days ago (I'd have more hair right now), but it's just not that simple.
Patience is a virtue folks. The test release will make a lot of developers happy, and should hopefully make a lot of users happy. (Developers will hate us for a week or so while they figure out the API changes, but they'll soon realize it's much more concise and cleaner)
Lastly, if you guys can't keep discussion civil, I'll start handing out suspensions. There's no room for you guys to beat eachother up on our boards, take it elsewhere, or don't post at all. Thanks!
I think you deserve a hug for your hard work so here we go *hug inc*
just a question!!
