Jomon's new summons (how is Jomon now?)

Red: With respect, I at least have been hearing that since... well, last year it seems. I understand the need to test, but some word about a firm date would be appreciated. I would like to see the new site-searching that I've seen Endo rave about here and there.

You have been hearing about it since last year, yes. This patch is taking a bit longer than average for the last several patches, but it also contains a lot of beautiful fixes. I'm surprised it's not out yet, I would have expected it to be out by now, but they just keep adding new fixes! So, just be patient, let the fixes and new features get some testing time, they'll be out soon enough. Or not, but you'll just have to live with it :P Anyway, I don't think illwinter can really set a date for when it might come out, that's just asking for trouble if they set a date and miss it. Not setting a date also means they get to make sure everything is working as intended

Because there is no way to give a firm date. There is "soon", and there is "now". Any programmer who tells you anything else (except for "never" or "later" ), is simply lying to you.

ie- there is no way to know how long testing will require, until it is complete. It's just a waste of time to give progress reports, since if it's not out, it's a fair assumption there is something potentially wrong with it - anything beyond that is of no use to us.
