My apologies for a ā€œflamyā€ type of my message but it really surprises me that new versions are released so quickly, but at the same time, already known bugs are left untouched for months and months.

Please take no offense from that. I really appreciate your work and very grateful, but approach with taking more time to address more bugs and making less releases seems to me as more viable there.

If youā€™re referring to the number of open issues on GithHub, theyā€™re not all bugs.

Also, have you looked at the massive changelog? I didnā€™t count the entries that contain the word fix. but there are a lot of themā€¦ :wink:

Sorry, but that wasnā€™t about GH issues at all. it is more about bugs that I follow personally. Some of them, for example, have been introduced in version 28 and, even after two major releases, they are still there.

As for a follower of such problems, it began to seem to me that the release of new versions has a slightly higher priority compared to fixing the bugs that these new versions introduce and accumulate.

Please donā€™t get me wrong, I just wanted to share my view on opportunity of taking more time before a new release, which can wait until previous versions are more polished, since I was sure that those new releases also introduce new features (hence bugs). If thatā€™s not possible/viable or I just simply can not see a full picture here (very likely), then I am totally OK with that and, as always, very grateful for all the work.

Yeah, not everyone likes the high release cadence of the Nextcloud major releases, but I donā€™t think this announcement thread is the right place to discuss it, so just a quick reply:

Whether or not, or how quickly, individual bugs are fixed is only indirectly related to the major release cadence, if at all, but of course it is also obvious that Nextcloud will probably never be this ultra-stable, feature-complete thing that only gets bug fixes and maybe a new major release every two or three years. They do, however, offer long-term support for enterprise customers: Nextcloud Enterprise: Content collaboration software for enterprises

You can test the new release, and also take it as an occasion to test the bugs you are concerned, if they are fixed and put in your experience. Even here: ā€œtested bug on github xy, still an issue with NC30ā€¦ā€

And for NC 29, you can add regression bugs in this wiki-thread: Frequent Nextcloud 29 (Hub 8) update issues
