Using the 1.5 Alpha for quite a time now, i must say, i find no bugs, no flaws, no crashes. Seems at least beta to me. 8-)

IPC and localization need to be updated before a beta release.

I am working on these now..

Just wanna weigh in now that I'm running into issues with software that integrates with Everything (but has trouble with it being the alpha version): perhaps it's time to change the release cycle?

I'm not a close follower but I have been a user for many years, this is one of my absolute favorite softwares. 1.4 was solid, and 1.5a is just 1.4 with dark mode to me. That dark mode is a must-have for me and probably plenty other people.

The alpha has been a thing for years now, which is unusual. If I look at that todo list, I see years of work for a hobby project. You're not going to delay 1.5 release for all of those TODOs, are you? Why not make a release one feature at a time, like most software today? Move to smaller, but still concrete and meaningful iterations so that releases become smaller and more frequent, and people aren't on a preview versions for years just to use a feature that deserves a minor release on its own.

Localization needs to be up to date for the changes already made of course, but I hope once that's done there will actually be a 1.5, and everything else on that list is for lots and lots of future releases. :D I've been using the alpha for a long time now anyway and have never had even a single problem in all my daily usage, it's solid work IMO and a huge part of how I work with files. =)

Thank you for your feedback.

There will be no new features for Everything 1.5.

I am finishing off IPC and localization for a beta release.

Sorry it's taking so long.

That's great! Maybe you can place a link at the alpha page, that points to the new beta section, when it's ready? So we won't overlook the new subforum, in case there's gonna be some. 8-)
