What Were The Biggest Challenges Of Getting The 1.7 Release Out There

Our test coverage is still incomplete, and with every fixed bug, we introduced 2 others, which made the arrival at a stable level extremely difficult. Every week, there were some 50-100 bugs entered in the bugtracker, and there was literally no end. Luckily, we were able to triage the bugs to critical and blockers and solve these in time for a release. You have to have a lot of guts to push out a release that?s still imperfect - but an imperfect release is better than one that gets delayed for months. You can always roll out 1.7.1.
