Title: Kicad 7.0.x milestone
Post by: hpw on April 11, 2023, 10:52:20 am
Just wondering about the 7.0.2 milestone as 13-Apr-2023 .... as for today, only 56% completed

So we get some banana ware :palm: or better IMHO, to shift the release deadline... as more issues gets fixed.

Well, I think the deadlines for milestones are more or less fixed, so they do not account for possible surprises.

v7 has introduced a lot of changes and there were some serious bugs in 7.0.0, 7.0.1 fixed some but certainly 7.0.2 ended up with a very long list of them and the deadline was just not realistic, but again I think the calendar is fixed for releases. I would take the deadlines with a pinch of salt until v7 reaches a more "stable" status.
