@vitallium This is to track a future release 😄

Just out of curiosity, since it took 1 year to release 2.1 after 2.0, do you think that 2.2 will be in one year or do you plan on faster releases?

[ariya]

@ocombe Surprisingly, it's one of the trickiest questions to answer, a Catch-22 situation. Based on the past history of this project, if we say e.g. "in 3 months" and then something happen and then we don't make it, we will get a mob attack from the demanding users. If we say "it's released when it's ready", then we get another mob attack from people looking for any answers.

Ahah ok, then I guess your answer is "we don't know" ;-)

@ocombe It's getting off topic, please open a new issue or discuss it as phantomjs-dev (preferred).

@ariya I don't think it's unfair nor a Catch-22 for people to ask what you're expecting to do. You're obviously in no way locked into it, but if you said, "in a month or two" versus "a year," people could make somewhat educated decisions. I know that I fall into that boat. It's just transparency, shouldn't be an indictment. Great project, btw.

I need that new feature for onlyViewport rendering, is there any way for you guys to publish some kind of beta before public release of 2.2?

[vitallium]

I believe we can close this? And remove the 2.2 milestone.

Yes, let's focus our effort on 2.5 (#14458).
