I don't like that. Then the next improvement would be 0.115%, and then 0.135%.

Sure, why not? Or were you objecting to the smaller increases rahter than the ugliness of the pattern? Or it could be 1.15 1.35 which would be more like p/10+.05 I suppose.

Wasn't 100% supposed to be the big milestone?

For those who are wondering what the advance to 90% actually means, there was a new beta build of JtRH released today. Things are fixed, and it's really looking quite good. It'll be out before you know it!

Yeah, seeing as we're not actually psychically in tune with the status of JtRH, it's quite likely there will be a delay of several milliseconds before we click that refresh button fast enough to get that 100% that will tell us it's available.

And curse my silly eyes; I read the last few posts as 'A big millstone!" Now I'm thinking of bread.

Remember, the bar responds to our enthusiasm. If we get too excited, we might see it drop to 91.4%. So keep your celebration to a minimum.

You sound so confident about your theory...

...are you secretly on the development team?

I personally don't know much about the progress being made behind the scenes, although I'm a tester, and I'd guess not even Erik or Mike knows whether or not DROD has had all its problems ironed out yet.

I'd advise not being too over-expectant about the whole process. There is stuff going on, but it's not a fast process, and as has been mentioned before, no-one has much information about a possible release date, since bugs could still come up at any time, unexpectedly, or something might happen to disrupt the release process.

As a favor to you, I'm personally making sure that we don't release JtRH until you've finished your programming project.

How mean...
Umm, how do you know I will finish it at all ?
You're trying to make other DROD'ers hate me, right ? There'll be people with torches and pitchforks knocking to my door at 29.II.Heh, that wouldn't be that bad. I meant 1.III.2005

I like to think of it as 37/40 done. For some reason, it just seems to be closer to completion than 92.5 percent.

I smell a public release looming. If it could be finished before my birthday,
29th March
That would be fine.
