2.216 was to be a very feature rich release. We found some problems that weren't worth solving now. We found other problems with the core features, such as Pause-Restore, and playing .WMA audio files. We also added more significant features such as a window displaying the Singers on-deck, and their songs if you select this.
We went through:
2.216
2.216 #2
2.217
2.217 #2
2.217 #3
2.218
and are now working on 2.218 #2, expected to be the Final Release Candidate to send out tomorrow for testing.
It it is bug free, we will release it this month.
George is exactly right. The NEWS page clearly states EXPECTED, not GUARANTEED. We will not release a version until our Beta Testers all agree it is ready. We have testers all over the world, and they do an excellent job of finding what we overlook. We do an excellent job of quickly fixing the problems they report.
Sometimes, during testing someone will have a brain-storm and another feature gets added. This is because when you are in a certain code area, to add another feature may be trivial, versus coming back later and trying to add it in the future.
All the beta testers KNOW that I, as President, want 2.218 #2 released!!!
But, they also know I won't until they say GO...
