I sent this to the MarcEdit Listserv to provide info about my thoughts around timelines related to the beta and release. Here’s the info.
Dear All,
As we are getting close to Feb. 1 (when I’ll make the 7.5 beta build available for testing) – I wanted to provide information about the update process going forward.
Feb. 1:
- MarcEdit 7.5 Download will be released. This will be a single build that includes both the 32 and 64 bit builds, dependencies, and can install if you have Admin rights or non-admin rights.
- I expect to be releasing new builds weekly – with the goal of taking the beta tag off the build no later than April 1.
- MarcEdit 7.3.x
- I’ll be providing updates for 7.3.x till 7.5 comes out of beta. This will fold in some changes (mostly bug fixes) when possible.
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.2.x
- I’ll be providing Updates for MacOS 3.2.x till 3.5 is out and out of beta
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.5.x Beta
- Once MarcEdit 7.5.x beta is out, I’ll be looking to push a 3.5.x beta by mid-late Feb. Again, with the idea of taking the beta tag off by April (assuming I make the beta timeline)
March 2021
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.5.x beta will be out and active (with weekly likely builds)
- MarcEdit 7.5.x beta – testing assessed and then determine how long the beta process continues (with April 1 being the end bookend date)
- MarcEdit 7.3.x – Updates continue
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.2.x – updates continue
April 2021
- MarcEdit 7.5.x comes out of Beta
- MarcEdit 7.3.x is deprecated
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.5.x beta assessed – end bookend date is April 15th if above timelines are met
May 2021
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.5.x is out of beta
- MarcEdit MacOS 3.2.x is deprecated
Let me know if you have questions.
