It is a valid point Patrick makes, stating that currently several known issues get solved in minor releases instead of in bugfix releases. For instance a bug in 7.18.0 that gets solved in 7.19.0 while instead it should get solved in 7.18.1 like these known issues in the release notes of 7.18:
• Unpacking and opening project packages (.mpk files) does not work when double-clicking in Windows Explorer. (Ticket 68263)
• Fixed in 7.19.0.
• There is a known issue with PostgreSQL support where transactions fail on the error “out of shared memory.” (Ticket 68224)
• Fixed in 7.19.0.
Btw. I also agree with his compliments on Mendix's bugsolving efforts.
Thank you Mendix!
Mendix often release x.n (like 7.20.1) versions to only do bugfixing.
No new features?! BLASPHEMY!
