New thread on GIMP 1.3+

Hi all,

At this stage, everyone has had their say on the version number thing. Personally I'm surprised there is so much fuss. But at this stage we all know where we all stand.

I'm starting a new thread to try to accomplish 2 things. 1) The death of all the other "next version" threads (I think there are either 2 or 3), and
2) A quick poll of the people concerned in all those threads.

I want to avoid the kind of permanent talking in circles that is inevitable in this kind of discussion. As Marc Lehmann has said, a decision will be made at some stage, and that decision will have to be made by a small number of people.

The point, I believe, of having brought this to the list was to reach some kind of consensus, and to allow people to disagree with the version bump and give reasons for that disagreement. That has happened, all the reasons for & against are out in the open, and now we need a decision.

To facilitate that, could the people who wish to express an opinion on the version numbering reply to this thread (once each) with the version number they would like to see on the next stable release of the GIMP. The rest of this mail can be snipped.

I'll get the ball rolling: 2.0

Dave.

My vote is for 1.4. Otherwise, the Slashdot headline we will get is "GIMP 2.0 Fails to Deliver Promised Features"

1.4. From the marketing perspective 2.0 would do more harm than good because of the mentioned expected bad press ('none of the promised features').

Hi,

Do you really expect this to happen? Well, of course there will be the inevitable casual trolls, but apart from that, do you really expect bad press in the spirit of "not delivering promised features"? Did we ever promise anything? I can not remember that we did that.

Sorry, if this sounds as if I would not believe you, but this idea seems beyond my imagination...

FWIW, 1.4.

Yes, I know that I supported 2.0 three days ago, but I have changed my mind since then.

In any case, I don't think that making the poll on the developers' list is useful. If anybody wants to make a poll, it should be done on the user's list or in comp.graphics.apps.gimp. We would like to to avoid bad press from the users, not from the developers. So we should ask the users instead. The users' poll should start with a brief summary of user-visible changes and it should also mention what the next release will not have.

As Gimp supporter :
1.4 (or 1.8 for the number of changes in the code). 2.O is an error in matter of communication.
