My fault! I wasn't paying attention when Heather submitted that PR...
I'm at FileMaker DevCon, and at the time was waiting for the Plugin
Vendor's Meeting to start. I was distracted by that and the fact Heather
had made her first PR... I read it - but didn't actually READ it (if
that makes any sense)!
Had I actually READ it, I would have pointed out that we don't use the
term 'beta' to describe any of our releases (*sometimes* as a marketing
aid to encourage people to try it out, but only later on in a project's
lifetime when RC's are looming large and certainly not at the
engineering level).
Out model is that we do DP's until we are happy enough that it is ready
to push to RC. (Up until today I'd have said it fits our agile dev
process better, however I'm now wondering whether, with the much better
processes we now have, we could revert to a more traditional release
sequence - i.e. Alpha, Beta, Release Candidate - right now though, we
have bigger fish to fry!).
Basically, we are pushing to get HTML5 into a 'minimum viable product
version' by the end of the year. This means that we want as much
functionality as we can get to work well and documenting what doesn't
work clearly. Obviously, for it to be an MVP it has to be able to be
usable by a reasonable range of existing projects (that people want to
work in the web browser). This is somewhat 'wooly' right now, but will
become less so over the next couple of months.
So, all we were trying to do was to say that 'we don't really consider
this experimental anymore because we are now pushing really hard to make
it a first class citizen alongside the other platforms'.
I'll patch the text more suitably when my brain is a little less fried
from spending the day demoing LiveCode and LiveCodeForFM :)
Warmest Regards,
Mark.
