4 to 6 months sounds good to me (so 5 months I guess). What do you guys think?

Well, you can have a release every day, if you pull from SVN. It's easy on linux

The problem with that is the client's and the server's versions start to drift and, you need to download all these svn_compat files.

This is the problem with popular servers as they all became SVN ones.

Problem? I think it's both positive and negative. It's allowed for more testing and challenged current understanding of needs and procedures. Certainly I don't think it'd be a good thing if all servers were SVN because releases are notably more stable and it just makes life easier .

As for a release schedule... I think that's something the project should consider because extended periods of time without a stable release can cause a decline in interest... but I do understand the want/need for 2.5 to be more rounded...

Bolded important parts in prev. post. All is not 100% but more than 3/4, imo, to be precise.

A new version once a year with major features that breaks backwards compatibility between client and server sounds fine for me.

And if physics change, it takes very, very long to re-learn. (well, for me).

I honestly can't tell if this is a sassy comment or not.

i can.

I think it is good to brake things once in a while, it keeps the players on the edge, and levelling the playing feald...
The latest realise had some changes to its physics(I think so at leest), and I have to sat it was a gr8 move, you do not feel like a lead weight any more... (some servers has reverted to the old physics stings though...)

over all I think that Nexuiz gets better and better for every realise, even when it brakes with how it was before...

and i love the "skiing"(auto bonny hopping), it is just like the skiing in Tribes 1/2... and the jetpack makes it even more like it tribes... ^_^
