CLOSED: Windows Development Poll

[stykzman]

[This was also posted at Droidz.org, so if you voted there, you don't need to vote here.]

So as you all may or may not know, I have a small handful of major undertakings to get done between now and the end of Feb. These include: significantly increasing playback performance, adding Undo support, adding animated GIF output, and testing/wrapping up the windows beta (this is in addition to bugs, etc. and a host of smaller things I haven't brought up but that need to get done.

So if you could choose one of the options below, which would it be Use the poll above to log your answer?

1. No Undo or GIF: Release the windows beta out about 3 weeks early (Undo and GIF support would be added in after the beta release instead of before)
   
   
2. No GIF: Release the windows beta about 2 weeks early (GIF support would be added in after the beta release, but Undo would be included in the beta)
   
   
3. No Undo: Release the windows beta about 1 week early (Undo support would be added in after the beta release, but GIF support would be included in the beta)
   
   
4. No Compromises: Release the windows beta on target, including both GIF and Undo support.

Use the Poll above to vote...

(NOTE: Keep in mind that these are estimates of the time saved (don't hold me to them), but getting some feedback on this would help me lay out the next 7 weeks of development more effectively.)

Get out the windows ASAP
Faster the better.
Just make sure all MAGOR bugs are killed.
I.E. Crashing bugs, figure bugs.

I say just no undo. I can live without being able to undo my work. I never had to use it for Pivot :3

I would rather wait a little while longer then have bugs and stuff in it =D

Actually, the earlier release shouldn't mean it's buggier - it just means that it won't have one or both of the features I mentioned. If you've already voted and you want to change your vote based on this new info, be my guest.

OK, the final decision has been made - the WIndows Beta will be moved earlier to Feb 21 *without* Undo, which will be added after the first Win Beta has been released to everyone. I've updated the timeline accordingly, and I've closed the thread.

Thanks for everyone's input!
