Of course I don't expect all releases to be tested. And I am very thankful to all testers for the kind work and CPU time. Very valuable inputs !Alayan wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 4:39 pm You've had a rate of over one release per week since the beginning of the year. Even with about half of your dev-versions not being made into releases, that's still a huge amount of releases, no tester can hope to test all of your official releases.
Also, your versioning scheme doesn't help to differentiate these releases from normal dev versions. With Xiphos bumping the middle version number, or Eth now doing a release every 25 commits, it's more obvious.
If I had to give release-for-testing guidelines, it would be something like this :Code: Select all
Less than 1 month : never except for bugfixes 1 to 1.5 months : 100+ elo 1.5 to 2 months : 50+ elo 2 to 3 months : 30+ elo 3 to 6 months : 20+ elo Over 6 months : 15+ elo (looking at you, Komodo) Major features such as FRC can replace some elo.
Again my initial message about being "stuck" was referring to Minic strength, not a all Minic "tested version". Especially at CCRL 40/15 TC, there is absolutely no way testers can test each versions.
My hope is to release when "needed", meaning at least +10 or a bad bug fix. Which makes sense to me.
Indeed, december and january were very impacted by many fixes (many for TCEC). The mean rate being around 1 per week.
Code: Select all
