Hi all,
I'm preparing the SymPy 1.6.1 bugfix release and I'm considering
skipping the release candidate and releasing directly and just wanted
to see if anyone has any opinions on that. In the past I haven't seen
much evidence that anyone has actually tested the pre-releases
(release candidate or beta) and it is a bunch of work producing them
so I'm asking here to see if anyone appreciates having them.
As a user, I agree. If you identify something as a "release candidate"
or "beta" people tend to skip it and wait. This is because a new release
of any complex software that is used to build other systems takes time
and effort to validate, and people wait for stable code. I'd suggest
that instead, perhaps you should informally update those who have
reported problems, to see if they are satisfied and then put out a
general release.
As a last resort it is easy for a user to revert to a previous version
of SymPy.
