[Digikam-users] Deleting in Digikam

[Peter Shute]

Similar problem with KDE on Windows (that the beta is included instead of final release). I didn't realise those teams were responsible for which version to include.

I agree it's a shame. How many people must try this program and give up because there are bugs in what should be a stable release?

Are they doing the same thing with other programs?

My response : do not use an old beta version in production. Use last
1.0.0 final out for Christmas.

More than 200 bugs have been fixed between beta5 and final. I cannot
be more clear.

I have already said in this room that Ubuntu make a mistake to place a
beta release in production WITHOUT to update packages step by step
until final release. Mandriva do it very well. Ubuntu team is not
serious for me. Ignoring software cycle release, especially in open
source is a shame.

Yes, my words are a little bit hard... But you must understand me :
why trying to fix and fix and fix bugs is the more used linux
distribution do not follow the game.

Anyway, happy new year... (:=))))
