Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Shannon]

hey Shannon,

My apologies if this has recently been asked, but do you have any plans of creating dmsi 3.3.3 soon or any timeline on when you might? Thanks!

I can do one of two things.

1. I can create DMSI v3.3.3 from 3.3.2, upgrading nothing but the skeleton script, adding FRM 4.9 and building it in Platinum Lake build method, which I estimate will take about a week to do and will give me a good idea of what I am working with since the tech has improved so much since v3.3.2 came out.  Basically this would have the advantage of being easy and rapid to build, and would tell me a lot more about what I need to do to get those affected to respond before building v3.4.

2. I can try to upgrade everything and figure out the outward facing FRM, which is taking a very long time, and which is not getting far because I'm so busy working to build so many other things while I try to figure out the outward facing FRM.  I don't know how long it will take me unless I focus on it completely, and with LTUv6, UMS v2, etc. to build also I'm not sure that's a good idea.  

Increasingly, I think option #1 is the better choice.  It would get something out there as an upgrade, it would be a significant upgrade because the skeleton script has been improved so much, it would have FRM 4.9 in it, and it would be built using Platinum Lake.  Basically, a major upgrade even if I do nothing to the Key scripts and the dedicated scripts.  This would also show me specifically what the upgrades have accomplished and what I need the EFRM to accomplish, and get something out to you guys who have been waiting for so long.  It would put me in a much better position, IMO, to build v3.4.  It would also use up one of the last two free upgrades.

You guys will have to vote on which path you would like me to take.
