So, build 151 is beta release 0.151. Once it gets to 1, it'll be beta!

    (in case anyone was wondering, this isn't serious, it's a terrible joke full of made-up stuff because people really need to quit asking this, even sarcastically)<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Maybe it's best not to think about it, but imagine if version 0.500 marked the start of beta, and we are only in build 0.151. That would really mean 3 or so years before we can expect a beta, and perhaps a decade before version 1.0 is reached (based on the current time it has taken to go from version 150 to 151 :P

    However, if they start putting less into each patch, then i'm sure we could crank through a new version number every day and reach beta in like a month :P

    We'll have beta when Starcraft 3 comes out.

    Am I imagining things, or did the bar for gameplay task move down a few on the list?

    Yup, they realized they couldn't squeeze all that in for today's planned patch.
    So the 151 release bar moves up.

    Not many people know about this patch im guessing, many servers are running the old version and still few players on
  • MartinMartin Join Date: 2010-07-27 Member: 73229Members
    I've updated all 3 of our servers with the latest version. ;)
  • phoenixbbsphoenixbbs Join Date: 2003-02-10 Member: 13379Members, Constellation, NS2 Playtester, Subnautica Playtester
    It'd be handy if the unpatched servers could be excluded from the server lists...

    Is it just me, or are their only 2 technical tasks on the list? Does that mean no lag fix?!?! D: Maybe Max just forgot to update it.

    The progress page is showing what Pivotal Tracker has determined we'll be working on for the next week. It does this based on how many features we've completed in previous weeks. Because we've been working almost exclusively on bugs, it doesn't think we'll be able to get a lot done in terms of features, so the few that are on there are bumping everything off to next week.

    omg!! ukw is controlled by a computer!

    actually, i think NS3 should have a third faction, the robots. Then we would have humand, bacteria(aliens) and robots.
    very nice...

    i can't wait for ns3!

    We expect to ship a new version every week or two, all the way through alpha, beta, v1.0 and afterward.

    O rly? I could have sworn it was <b>quadruped</b>.
    Either way, I hope they did not forget to include sounds for a quadraped armoury along with a quadraped gorge.

    Where does 'Finished' with the yellow background fit into the hierarchy below?:

    I've been compulsively checking the tracker and today is the first time I've seen it. Sorry if this has already been explained, only skimmed the thread for dev posts and didn't see it answered there.

    I suspect it actually goes Started -> Finished -> Delivered -> Acceped
