  1. 1. How often do you like to receive software updates?

    • Frequently; I like to see a project growing and having updates when they're available. I don't mind managing some zip files if I have to.

    • When they're done; I find updates annoying and I prefer to wait a few months so that lots of issues are fixed in one update.

Depends on what is being updated.

 

Smaller updates can be good to see the progress in a project, like when a new feature is added, or a small bug gets removed.

 

But, if there are lots of things that need to be fixed, upgraded, etc, sometimes pushing a large patch to fix all of the issues is best.

Both - the former is good, when one is feeling adventurous and doesn't mind playing with things; however there are many people, who prefer/need stability...

Maybe a compromise would be a way - major version once in a while, followed by few quick bugfix releases if needed.

Kind regards,
