Good update. I have a question for the GUI release. Is the release in the middle of this month a preview of the new GUI? Or will it be fully integrated from this point on. I'm wondering b/c why update a new version of the client with new BST templates and then have to update again later this month instead of rolling out all at once in big update.
The release in the middle of this month is a new GUI -not a preview. But there will be more changes in the future. A GUI is never done once and for all.
The reason not to release all in one big update is complexity. Keeping it as seperate releases makes it easier to manage the workflow. There is also the matter of delivering on deadline. You might have noticed that we always deliver on time in accordance with our roadmap. By making the releases more complex, we put that in jeopardy because people almost always deliver last minute internally (working on that). So if there is a last minute issue the night before release, it might be harder to solve in time when it is more complex.
