The discovery dev team, especially Igiss, have historically been very tight-lipped about release dates, always saying "When it's done". This usually results in nearly unexpected drops of new versions, but also lends itself to a lot of people sitting around thinking that the devs aren't doing anything because there isn't much visible progress. So we present this table to show that things actually do get done, and that the timeframes, when (rarely) provided, are pretty accurate if not downright conservative. | The discovery dev team, especially Igiss, have historically been very tight-lipped about release dates, always saying "When it's done".

The discovery dev team, especially Igiss, have historically been very tight-lipped about release dates, always saying "When it's done". This usually results in nearly unexpected drops of new versions, but also lends itself to a lot of people sitting around thinking that the devs aren't doing anything because there isn't much visible progress. So we present this table to show that things actually do get done, and that the timeframes, when (rarely) provided, are pretty accurate if not downright conservative.
| Discovery Time | Actual Time | Item |
|---|---|---|
| October 8, 2006 | 4.81 Release | |
| several days from now | 2 days later
(December 2, 2006) |
4.82 Final Release |
| "soon enough" | 6 days later
(March 9, 2009) |
4.85 Public Beta Release |
| later next year | middle of the next year
(June 9, 2009) |
4.85 Release |
| Soon.
"we do aim for much a shorter development cycle than Discovery 4.85 took us to complete" (About 1 year, 6 months. Before March 2011.) |
December 31, 2011 | Release of 4.86 beta. |
