With the caveat that I don’t like giving release dates… I’ll say this:
As with all software development, it is sometimes tough to accurately estimate the time required to finalize an application. I can only humbly ask you to bear with me a little longer while I get everything up and running to the high standards both you and I expect from OctaEdit.
OSX Public Beta
Couple of days as I do final sanity checks, tie up any loose ends etc. for public consumption. Could do it now, but I’m being fussy.
Windows Public Beta
Whenever OSX Public Beta is “near enough” that beta testers are happy, and I’m dealing with minor tweaks and edge cases.
This is just to save myself time from dual compiling / hunting down platform specific issues.
General Release ( OSX and Windows )
Whenever OSX and Window Beta users are happy. I can potentially see OSX General Release happening slightly before Windows General Release as should only be platform specific scenarios at that stage.
