Re: [QGIS-Developer] A plea: "fixes" vs "features"

Hi all, I understand the frustration from both sides. Roughly, our users mostly demand more stability, whereas customers mostly pay for new features. We have balanced this using QGIS.ORG budget, by having more tests, but obviously we can't cover all. I'm pretty sure over time things will keep on

Hi all. I'm often unhappy when I'm right. Although the practical impact this time is low, I would take this as a clear signal (after the loomio move, and I expect more) that we have to change our strategy, keeping our infrastructure as simple as possible and avoiding wherever possible to rely on

[QGIS-Developer] A plea: "fixes" vs "features"

Hi list, This is something which has been on my mind a lot lately. Whenever a question comes up about regressions or stability, the argument is often thrown around that developers are writing "fun new features, not fixes". I personally think this argument is a red herring. At best, it's a mislead

Hi all, SAGA has released a 7.3 version at the end of june, and I intend to keep a stable branch based on this release, and drop support of the old branch (which was not maintained well). I am aware of the next-gen processing plugin at https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/processing_saga_nextgen/ whic

Hi, Thanks for bringing up this discussion. My personal opinion is that we should be worried by such development and should have a plan B for hosting our code. We certainly want QGIS and its source code to be available world wide, not just to parts of the world at the mercy of some governmen
