Re: auto-complete refresh When is the next FixPack?

Paul

Well, I tried going back to the old "wait for it" outline, but still the
auto-complete (ctrl-space) doesn't work most of time in that mode. I
refreshed the cache, I updated the outline, restarted RDP, everything I
could think of -- still I might get one usage of ctrl-space, then it's gone
again (much like Kurt A above).

So I turned the auto-updating outliner back on so that at least I can see
the necessary info in the outline (which is updating nicely, btw).

Having the auto-complete facility disappear every three minutes is a bit
excessive. Perhaps you can disable the auto-refresh of the outline which
should give you a better experience? (I think the relevant tick-box is on
the Windows/Preferences menu option, type ILE, then check the "IBM i
Parsers/ILE RPG" item.)

It'd be great to get little fixes now and again.

I swear, if I have to close and re-open a member just to get auto-complete
to work again I'm going to drive my head through the wall. I've been at
work an hour and a half now and had to do it 28 times already. Boy, is
that wasting most of my day opening and closing members...

I agree. I don't need to see monthly fixpacks, but I'd like to see
either more frequent updates, or APAR fixes made accessible without
having to open a PMR.

It seems ironic that as IBM beats the continuous delivery drum, their
own deliveries have gotten less continuous for just about every
product except for Rational's Jazz-based offerings.

Here are some stats on releases since 8.0 with when the next release
would be based on the corresponding release interval.

Date Elapsed Would be
Version Available Days Months next release
8.0.0 2010-10-26
8.0.0.1 2010-12-07 42 1.4 2013-01-07
8.0.0.2 2011-04-18 132 4.4 2013-04-07
8.0.0.3 2011-06-30 73 2.4 2013-02-07
8.0.3 2011-10-14 106 3.5 2013-03-12
8.0.3.1 2012-01-16 94 3.1 2013-02-28
8.5.0 2012-06-15 151 5.0 2013-04-26
8.5.1 2012-11-26 164 5.5 2013-05-09

Average 109 3.6 2013-03-15
Trend 170 5.7 2013-05-15

We initially deployed 8.0.0.1. We have not deployed every release, we
have installed 8.0.0.3, 8.0.3.1 but did not install 8.0.0.2, 8.0.3 or
8.5.0 because I felt that they had too many problems.
Deployment of 8.5.1 is on my to do. While it has some issues, I think
the new functions and fixes in 8.5 and 8.5.1 tip the balance to the
positive side. (Now, my current project is taking a bit longer than
expected so given the dates I calculated above, I may wait for the
next release and do a quick assessment before deciding.)

I do think the interval between releases is becoming WAY TOO LONG,
especially for fixes (even worse when we skip every other release
because of problems).

I'd like to see more frequent updates and on a more predictable
schedule. Something like a release every quarter, every other release
being mostly fixes and small enhancements.

Thank you and have a nice day.
Thierry.
