stottycabanas Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Whilst the idea of providing a progress status for the various features of v. 1.6 is to be welcomed, I question the current usefulness of it - see http://www.prestashop.com/en/progress-1-6 There has been no update at all since 18 November, and 3 of the features were 99% complete in September (one on September 12nd (sic)). Please either keep it up to date or scrap it. Thanks, Dave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xavier du Tertre Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 We're doing our best to develop the 1.6 version so it is the best major version PrestaShop has ever released. If the Progress Page appears to be stalling, I can assure you that we're working very hard on the software are leaving nothing to chance! Please either keep it up to date or scrap it. Well, just forget about the link and act like we scraped it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Progress Page appears to be stalling, I can assure you that we're working very hard on the software are leaving nothing to chance! Well, just forget about the link and act like we scraped it Xavier, I've no doubt that the team is busting a gut to get 1.6 ready asap and with as few defects as possible. And conceptually, the progress page is a good way to provide information to users about how things are going. Unfortunately, by not maintaining the information so that it is credible, it raises more questions about the true progress towards 1.6. As the saying goes, under promise and over deliver. Many thanks we dont have patience!! ps3z, patience is definitely a virtue in this case! Better to wait a bit longer for a release where the quality is as high as possible than to have something that is rushed out - it will only come back to bite you later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier du Tertre Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 What's happening for such a major release is that we juggle with 3 variables: quality, functional scope and release date. You get this kind of equation : Quality + Functional scope + Date = X (X is a constant) During the finalization of a project like the release of the final stable version of PrestaShop 1.6, these variables fluctuate. They do, albeit the project is tightly managed. Obviously, we care very veeery much about the Quality of V1.6. So that variable can't actually change. So when the functional scope changes, even just a bit, the date changes too. It's maths However, this equation for the next major release is the most stable PrestaShop has ever known, and the potential delay will be shorter than for the previous major release. Thank you all for contributing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when the functional scope changes, even just a bit, the date changes too. It's maths Well, the quality can change. The quality of the Alpha will be less that the quality of the Beta will be less than the quality of the final release (at least, that's the way it should work ). I suspect you mean that the quality target for the final release shouldn't change, which is fair enough. I would have thought that the functional scope for 1.6 ought to be more or less fixed by now. Allowing scope creep will not only affect the date, it will increase the risk of adverse effects on your final release quality too. It's encouraging to hear that the overall stability looks good - we all hope it stays that way. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khioen Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 please how long do we have to wait. Running out of patience. Please give us update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringerce Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 please how long do we have to wait. Running out of patience. Please give us update. Patience is a virtue. When it's finished we'll know. I'd rather the developers take their time and provide a polished product with minimal bugs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
