Title: New build of EA
Post by: MattAdamson on January 25, 2008, 11:45:41 am

Guys,

Any ideas when a new build will be forthcoming?

Usually there is one every 3 - 4 weeks and it's over 3 months now since the last one.

Not that I'm that concerned however it does strike me as rather odd and when we pay for subscription we would have thought some new features would have been added by now

Cheers

Matt

Matt,

They are working hard on the public beta of EA 7.1. The usual pattern when this happens is that there is a delay - they are actually running through several alpha and internal beta builds - and then we see the first public beta.

Also remember that next week is shorter for them since (their) Monday is a holiday.

PS: Please move your post to the General board, and I'll do the same. This board is for Sparx to post notices.

HTH, David

EDIT: Thanks Matt and Aaron, neatness counts.

Hi,

Sparx Systems has a great product and does a great job to support us all ;D.

Nevertheless I'd like to know a little more about their future plans and what's going on.

Although I can accept, that the silence before a storm makes the storm even more impressive, there are people like me who extend "their" EA with AddIns and the like (TFS work item export/import e.g.).

While the releases are flowing, I don't care much, but if there's a stop, I think, it would be good, if Sparx Systems posts a "Road Works Ahead" note and makes a short statement about what will come. So I could delay some efforts to use, what will be solved for free.

Regards
Bernd

Add me to the list of people, who would like to know more about what EA is currently working on. Using EA as a core tool in my projects, I think it is necessary to get the information and make the right decisions (e.g. buying add ons or waiting a couple of months for an update of EA).

Beside the regular build information, I would like to see a general roadmap, where SparxSystems is heading to with EA.

Regards
Bernd

Topic moved to General Board.  EA 7.1 is still in the works and hopefully the first beta shouldn't be too far away.
