To developers: how far are we to Vangelis?

[piattica]

I am curious: to how far or close are we to Vangelis update?

[jofemodo]

uhhh!! We have no date for this. Probably not in 2025.

vangelis was always so futuristic

Still the same question to prepare myself in time about Zynthizn OS switch: how far are we to have Vangelis in production?

[tunagenes]

Obviously, I am not the person to answer that question, only our benevolent leader, or one of his many minions could. However, I do have a prediction from the Peanut Gallery™:

We have no date for this. Probably in 2026.

And I also have a question. I think both questions are reasonable. How much time do you need to prepare yourself for Vangelis to move to production?

@tunagenes

Ovviamente non sono io la persona giusta per rispondere a questa domanda: solo il nostro leader benevolo o uno dei suoi tanti tirapiedi potrebbero farlo. Tuttavia, ho una previsione dalla Peanut Gallery™:

Non abbiamo una data per questo. Probabilmente nel 2026.

E ho anche una domanda. Penso che entrambe le domande siano ragionevoli. Quanto tempo ti serve per prepararti al passaggio di Vangelis alla produzione?

1 month: as I get older I get slower and slower
and I don’t want to miss the train

I am sorry but we must say, it will take as long as it takes. We have Oram as our stable release. We have the public development branch for users to try (which is unlike many commercial products that just land the update and you get it without any feedback). We are still doing a lot of work on vangelis functionality so are not yet in the feature freeze phase (although we want to be!). Don’t worry, the train will be there for you to catch. You just need to get on at the right station.

[tunagenes]

So when Vangelis is ‘frozen’ that will be your cue that it’s close, and based on previous versions maybe about 1 to 3 months off. I tried to find dates for Oram, but was not successful, so that’s my vague memory.

Hi

@riban

are still doing a lot of work on vangelis functionality so are not yet in the feature freeze phase

Is there a helicopter view of the functional changes planned/desired before getting to the feature freeze phase? E.g. in a GitHub query or similar.

And/Or is it more a go with the flow until we meet certain goals milestone (E.g. the better usability, clippy etc) ?

@jawn

GitHub query

I tend to mark GitHub tickets with a milestone flag when I triage them, so filtering on Vangelis will show the list of features and bugs that have been (initially) targetted at that release, but that does not include what is in @jofemodo and my head. (It is often a concern that those two spaces can occupy the same space in the space-time continuum!)
