I see that there are now classes for OI 7.0 and references to it being delayed. For those of us waiting to do some updates to existing projects it would be helpful if there were some indication on at least the time frame we can expect release.

Is this possible?

We've had a couple of delays on the rollout. Original internal date was 15 October, but we were fixing the whole product, not just the new functionality, so we delayed it.

We were ready for December 31, and pushed it to January 2, but found a bug in OIPI, specifically the way headers are printed as pages change. To fix this we had to modify the way that OI works with OCXs, which was a planned 7.1 enhancement that we had to push up.

We're now day to day- as soon as we're happy with it we release it back to the beta testers, and when they're satisfied we rollout. We already use it in house on all developoment projects and internal systems, and some client systems, so we're pretty happy with it.

So, real soon now .

Sorry again for the delays- you can't know how much this is killing me and how much sleep we're losing over it, but we really want this to be a strong release.

Thanks-

Mike,

Thanks for the update on where 7.0 is. It helps to know where things are. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Mike and others,

FWIW, as active beta-testers of OI 7.0, we too have been using it with many of our production applications. We felt this was critical in order for the product to be tested as rigorously as needed. We have greatly appreciated Revelation's willingness (and courage) to withhold the rollout long past the original target date for the sake of a stronger product.

We strongly echo Don's thoughts and applaud the courage shown in waiting to release until it is ready.

Isn't funny how doing the right thing (holding out until the update is complete and strong) has become something to cheer about instead of something to expect.

It just goes to show how much different RS is from those other guys I can see a time when it will become 'ho hum' that the release is correct ..

Bravo Mike and team
