Expected release date TFC 0.80.0

[Lenaco 10]

Is there any clue about when we will be progressing to version 0.80?

 

I ask this because I am interested to join a public server and I like to build, I hate to spend a lot of time building a small town and end up losing it due to a map reset just when I hit the sweet spot.

 

I am aware that it is hard to give a specific date, and I am not asking for one, but if anyone could give an estimation.

Will it be weeks, months, half a year...?

 

 

0.77.0 - 20130819 (ran for 8 months with 22 revisions)

0.78.0 - 20140410 (ran for 6 months with 17 revisions)

0.79.0 - 20141006 (so far it runs for 2 months with 13 revisions)

 

I'm not entirely sure about the start date for 0.79, I cant find the date in the change logs but the first bug report I can find on the forums is from the 6th of October, so I can be a day off.

 

Sincerely,

Jacko

There's usually 4-6 months between major builds. Ideally build 80 won't take as long as it will focus less on content addition and more on porting to Minecraft 1.8+, but we are still waiting on a stable 1.8 build of forge before even beginning on build 80. So if I had to give an estimate, I would say 4 months from whenever a recommended version of forge for Minecraft 1.8+ is released.

 

My best estimate, which could change at any time, for Build 80 releasing would be Summer 2015.

Well my guess is as good as yours but AFAIK the Devs aim for a release every 6 months, so if it's not delayed you have at least 4 more months to play on b79, with a buffer period of 1-2 months if you ask me. 

 

But on the other hand Bioxx has stated many times that he wants to push out b80 as fast as he can. IMHO still considering there will be some bug fixes for .79 it will take at least 3 months.

 

DISCLAIMER: I have not spoken to Bioxx or Dunk or Kitty about it, these are just my guesstimations based on the forum and the development pace lately.

 

EDIT: Ninja'd by Kitty Her answer is AY better than mine

If you check the submits to the sourcecode

https://github.com/Deadrik/TFCraft/commits/master

 

you can see when someone "uploaded some code changes" to the "masterfile". Whenever some feature is finished, it should pop up there and once enough features are there, there will be a bump in version.

 

Ofc only finished code is uploaded, so you will never know how much work a dev has done on their own computer but at least it gives you some idea.

Wich summer?

 

I said the year, so I'm only assuming you're asking Northern/Southern Hemisphere summer? Considering that all of the TFC staff lives in North America, the summer I am talking about is the one that starts in June.
