Hey devs, how is the progress on the wallet? Its almost 6 months i think since you started the codebase update. It would be cool if you can give us a report every few weeks. We know you are working hard but if we can see what is being done even if its a bit technical then it would give us some indication how things are going & how far are we from the big release. Thanks for all your work
EDIT: Something like this will inspire some confidence.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14460950Keep in mind that there have been actual working wallet releases since work was started on the 2.1 codebase. These releases added new features which are fully documented by the devs and push towards the 2.1 release. You can see an example of this for wallet version 2.0.2 released on 3/2, about a month ago.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14070605After the 2.0.2 release, an official bootstrap was released on 3/12 and updated on 4/5. See the history thread...
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.13798259Additionally, you can see the devs work on Git with their individual accounts that merge into the main account. Fuzzbawls release notes for 2.0.2 gives you specific documentation of code changes with direct individual links on Git for each change.
Would additional updates be cool? Totally. Should those additional updates come at the expense of writing actual code?
I'm not suggesting your point is invalid. I'm just asking you to consider the other side of the coin. Distracting the devs with requests for updates could be counter productive. I would personally love to offer more updates in relation to coding the 2.1 wallet but general bug fixes and code modernization isn't always that exciting or easily consumable. If it was then wouldn't you have your eyes glued to Git like your favorite T.V. show?
[EDIT] Actually, a 24/7 reality show about development of a coin WOULD be pretty amazing. 24 hour market with a 24 hour show to match.
Thanks for replying. You don't need to defend & use sarcasm
I understand that devs are busy & i believe them completely but it would be much better if progress is visible to wider community and hodlers of the coin. I am sure a bi-weekly report is possible if that gives everyone a sense of direction and movement. Updates are not a time waste IMO but are rather important for how a coin is perceived. Development has to be balanced with communication. Makes sense?
PS: 1 update in 6 months is a bit unbalanced i think. Maybe i got too used to amazing updates by CryptoMommy
