For the uninitiated, the release date in the table might seem odd. Today for example, the date is July 11 while the table shows the release was July 9 but the status is "in development". What about listing only a month or year; "July 2012" or "2012"? The date could be added after release. Regards, [[User:Peasthope|Peasthope]] 03:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC) |

Revision as of 02:35, 1 August 2012
Nice work on the 11.2.0 release. Thank you very much for all of your efforts.
Time of release
Ditto the introduction. Nice work.
For the uninitiated, the release date in the table might seem odd. Today for example, the date is July 11 while the table shows the release was July 9 but the status is "in development". What about listing only a month or year; "July 2012" or "2012"? The date could be added after release. Regards, Peasthope 03:16, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
