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

JM: While I can understand that, I think you are accepting the current state of software design as the only state possible, which I vehemently disagree with.

As far as how long it's been since the last patch, while this is less important to me, it has been over 4 months. (3.21 was done on 11/1/2008.)

I myself have been trained never to say that something exists in a piece of software until after it is debugged. Therefore, when I see something on the progress site, I have assumed that not only was it implemented, but it is working. Apparently, that is in error.

Half-empty, half-full...it's still only half a glass.

debugged != working (for all cases of "working")

Debugged just means that it works in each case the developer thought of/tested.

What you really want is 100% comprehensive use case based regression testing...and then you have to be sure that your tests actually do cover all code paths. A very nice ideal, but consider that the dev team consists of exactly 2 individuals, only one of which does logic programming.

...so, any news on the new "developer daemon" summons in the next release for Jomon? :-)
