• From 2.6.4 to 3.0+ is a whole disaster! If you did not make enough test why did you publish 3.0? Since the beginning of April, every week an update comes, we are tired and Themes-Plugins are living nightmare. Shame on you!

    And:

    >In total we had 4 beta versions for “2.7” from December; you can check out the Beta 1, beta 2, and beta 3 posts if interested. We then had a “2.7” release candidate before deciding to move to Semantic Versioning and use 3.0.0 instead. In total our betas have had at least 1,148 downloads according to the stats we have from Github.

    Extension developers and testers have been on it since December. 4 months is ample warning for devs.
