Can you think about locking down the feature set and creating an RC7?\r\n\r\nWith so much new stuff since RC6 there is no way this can go straight to a gold release and I know I have a dedicated group of people using the same printer as I that are eager to test this and use it as a daily driver. I have maintained a set of configuration files for the various flavors of the printer on their forums. I usually try to wait for the RC's as the configuration files change too much on every batch of commits for RCBugFix to keep up.\r\n\r\nI do admire and love all the work everyone is doing but at some point you have to draw a line in the sand and create a 1.2.x branch and start putting new code in it and leave RCBugFix alone (of course except for code that actually fixes something broken).\r\n\r\nJust really wondering what the path is moving forward, it is very foggy at the moment and I am looking to see when that fog will burn off to reveal a beautiful landscape."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/comments/225334457","html_url":"https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/3997#issuecomment-225334457","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/MarlinFirmware/Marlin/issues/3997","id":225334457,"user":{"login":"Roxy-3DPrintBoard","id":8404322,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/8404322?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard","html_url":"https://github.com/Roxy-3DPrintBoard","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/Roxy-3DPrintBoard/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-06-11T03:34:37Z","updated_at":"2016-06-11T03:34:37Z","body":"> And where possible, ahead of releasing to the public, I wanted to make the configuration (especially of probes) a bit more clear, if only by writing up better descriptions in the configuration files.\r\n\r\nI know I don't follow directions well.  But I'm 100% in favor of getting the probe configuration easier to do.   I know about Auto Bed Leveling but that doesn't keep me from running off the cliff every time I setup a new printer.\r\n\r\n> Finally, rumor has it that we might have Unified Bed Leveling soon. If this is as big an improvement as it is touted to be, then I would like to see this tested and included in the release also.\r\n\r\nThis is way too invasive to be included in a Release Candidate.  What I'm trying to do is have it done at the same time you get the RC-7? promoted to Golden status.  And it will be our first Development Branch and published at the same time.   If you want perfectly stable, you go with the Golden Release.  If you want the extra features in the Unified Bed Leveling and can tolerate a little bit of pain, you can grab the Development Branch.\r\n\r\nAnd if at any time you change your mind....  Flash the other version.\r\n\r\n"}}
