The policy of Crowd Favorite is not to announce release dates for future software releases. There are several good reasons for this:
- The unexpected happens.
It’s difficult to predict when something will pop up that needs to be addressed during the course of the release process. It could be anything from a great feature idea to a bug in the software to needing to complete a tutorial or documentation.
- Date driven releases vs. feature driven releases.
A release can either be date driven (release on a given date) or feature/quality driven (release when everything is ready). We choose the latter because it makes things better for everyone. Our customers get a better quality product with fewer upgrades to install and we spend less time tracking down and managing issues relating to different versions of the product.
