Stability of XOJO

Xojo has releases, then patch releases to fix major bugs

Does it?
There was a bug bash last august; we might consider that a “patch release”

In both Brave and Safari.

Not sure why not

HUGE differences, most other frameworks have a Major release that have bugfixes becomming more stable with time, that is why they call STABLE releases.

But with the xojo rapid release system, mixing regresions, bugfixes and new features, even by definition, they dont have any stable release.

I was hoping the Rapid Release system had been retired.
I code mostly in Django and Python at the moment - very stable.
We’re only releasing for the web at the moment but I’d like to be able to other platforms hence why I’m considering XOJO.

The last version Keith was using (5.5.5) was one of the of the most stable versions of Xojo/REALBasic ever released IMO… I still remember it fondly!

Same. 5.5.5 was/is solid.

Make a new thread with “Forum” instead of “Getting started”, on this problem.

Edit: Sorry “Site Feedback” rather than “Forum”.

Indeed:

August is Bug Bash Month at Xojo

Originally published at: https://blog.xojo.com/2022/07/13/august-is-bug-bash-month-at-xojo/ We are excited to announce that during the entire month of August the majority of our engineering team will be focusing on a Bug Bash!

No, just that August of 2022 was a month where Xojo focused on bugs (no new feature nor thinking about other things than bugs). After August, things went back to normal, with “less bugs fixes”, but still releases.
