The application is 100% "bugs free" and is ready to be published.

Actuall it refers to the pressing of a gold plated master from back in the days of those non-digital frisbees we called "LPs" or "Records". this gold master would be the template for all the reproduction vinyl records.

It carried over from the music industry to the software industry and indicates that no more revisions are being made before all the retail release DVDs are burned.

LOL

If that was true, no software would ever go gold. :rolleyes:


The term "Gold" is from the Master-Media that is used for mass-production. When this master is ready the CD/DVDs are being mass produced.

The term is largely outdated in the days of downloadable content and beyond that, the production-cylcle of 2-3 weeks was also minimized due to better manufacturing methods, less production-failures and faster transportation.

Everything except official statements about the delay is pure speculation.

Hopefully we will know more in todays update, provided there is one.

Two weeks, be sure! :mrgreen:

I think that's why "bug free" was in quotes. ;)

When you buy an application it's clearly bug free!! Are you joking?

I think we can forget the official release date.

Oleg logs to this forum, posts a video and some screens and leaves just as there was nothing going on at the moment... :confused:

Er, I know what you mean. Doesn't really feel like he's 14 or so days from having something central to his working life hitting the shelves. Still, in the absence of firm info either way I'll stick to believing in a March release, say in about two weeks?
