Start OS 0.4.0 timeline

Does anyone have any idea when we can expect a Start9 update to 0.4.0? I’m really looking forward to the improved networking features.

Hi! Welcome to the community. No timeline. But you can follow the 0.4.0 development on github. We’re still cleaning up a few known bugs, but last I heard Alpha10, was working really well, and very few changes are expected before going into public beta. We’re getting there. We’ll soon see how well it holds up to you guys pounding on it. :wink:

That’s awesome to read! I did check in on the Git and saw it was “88% complete, 19 open and 143 closed” issues. A few P1 issues are blocking release, including a long-standing one from September 2022.

@Rexter hey Mike,
I know you said we could track progress on the Git, but in (at least) 2 months the progress hasn’t budged. I know 0.4 is a big milestone to get right, but since it’s been soooo long coming, we really have no idea where we’re at since every response is just “soon now”. I feel like a kid on a long roadtrip car ride asking “are we there yet?”

I appreciate your position. We’re all really excited about it as well. The only thing I know otherwise is from the testing dev chat. I know they’re hard at work on it, and making progress every day. I expect the next Alpha to drop any day now. If you have a test machine, you could install the latest Alpha, and play with it. Just don’t put any money on data on their, unless you’re willing to lose it.
