      On the subject of delays in the release of open source software, from my experience of developing in Linux it would be safe to say most/all? OS developers are perfectionists to some extent and will usually NOT release anything until they believe it is up to there high standards. Open source developers usually being there own harshist critics.

          Its better if they just take their time and wait untill they are comfortable with the result,rather than release a version with problems.Then we'd all be complaining no end.

            When something is in "beta" it is synonymous with "development" and problems are to be both expected and accepted.
            I don't think that anyone here with an ounce of consideration would whinge about any aspect of OR as it continues to evolve and improve.

              That's what some of us in this forum are here for, to tooth-comb a beta to check all of what it does and report anything the team may have missed or can not test, not having the routes and rolling stock some of us use.

              However, some consider doing that to be wingeing or criticizing !

                  Otto, there are times when I am not sure whether you are being deliberately obfuscating or are genuinely ignorant of the way English is spoken/written by those for whom it is the native language.

                  There is a HUGE difference between "reporting" and "complaining".

                  I don't know the German words or phrases so do your best with the English I've provided here.
