Bit of a rant on a trend I'm noticing.
We're still relatively early days into 2.1 as far as I can tell so maybe a month or two away from Gold? Who knows.
So why are a number of resource authors bundling bug fixes, new features etc into 2.1 required releases of their respective addons? I know it's less work but given this is a second point release I'd have expected fewer breaking changes. This is turning out into the XF2 upgrade headaches and dilemmas most of us experienced not so long ago.
2.1 is Beta then it will be RC for a while then it will be Gold. Releasing 2.1 only addons now will only lead to unhappy customers who will have to wait for their full plethora of addons to support it before jumping ship. No one is (nor should be) using XF 2.1 in production.
Rant over. I know I know... Blah blah.
