Open letter to Jon concerning M3

@jon said in Open letter to Jon concerning M3:
We have been doing a rather major rewrite and that process is going quite well.
Am I right in assuming that this is the main reason for the obviously unplanned delay compared to the announcement of the first Vivaldi Beta back then?
-
Any news here?
-
Maybe I'm wrong, but could it be that 1.16 will get an experimental version M3? 'Cause 1.16 development is going much slower than usual and the few releases that have been done only contained some bug fixes. So that leads me to think that they're planning something big for one of the next 1.16 snapshots, i.e. M3?
-
@motionshot No, sorry. The delay is for other reasons, having to do only with the underlying engine.
-
@ayespy Okay, thanks! I do hope we'll get some sort of indication soon about M3 Not any specifics per se, but it would be nice to get something like "we'll try to get it done before date XYZ" or "in the next 5 months" or something along those lines.
-
@motionshot It's "soon" since end of 2016, I wouldn't hold my breath for a definite date. They will just release it as surprise in snapshot at some point and then we will have to shut up
-
@gwen-dragon I'll have a ChΓ’teauneuf-du-Pape, withr our meal and thenwe can sit back with a dram of Cardu in the library.
-
Another month, same question... ?
Please excuse me, its very important to me.
EDIT: Sorry I've seen the latest posts after replying.
-
@codehunter You won't get an answer. They will do a surprise release when it's presentable. It's completely pointless asking developers for a timeline, because they won't dare raising any hopes.
-
@luetage I think its not senseless to remember the devs for our needings
-
I think the new mail-client needs a name more colourful than M3. That's fine for devs or those familiar with M2, who can know that it is a continuation from the earlier client. How about something connected with the Vivaldi name:
- Vivaldi Symphony
- Vivaldi Duet
- etc.?

That sure would be nice. Although I think M3 is fine as well. Maybe we could keep both names, kinda like how, for example, on GNOME the file manager is now called Files but the repo name and internal name is still Nautilus. So maybe we could give the email client a colorful name but refer to it internally and on the forums as M3?
-
@pesala I'm kind of partial to Vivaldi Melody... it has a mail-like ring to it.
-
Looks like M3 is coming in 2020.

There will be a joint ceremony for the presentation of M3 and the opening of BER
(for non-Germans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Brandenburg_Airport#Timeline ) -
Oh come on, you know its much easier to build an international airport than to create a new mail client from scratch
-
@zhnujm Well, there are far more international airports than browsers with built in mail clients, therefore your assumption must be correct.
-
@zhnujm Not with a team of only 12 workers, and various other staff such as project managers, and media people. Building a new airport takes years of planning and a team of thousands.
-
All of these inquiries about M3 release date. And the one simple answer...
"It will be released when it's ready. And only when it's ready."
I want a finished product. It should be polished and shiny and easy to look at.
Aesthetic pleasing. And very functional. -

I think thats missing at the BER. :lol
And i still think the mail client will get dropped.
But Vivaldi is still my favorite brower because of tab stacking.
