Next EE Update Coming in October
Per a EllisLab.com blog post from Leslie Camacho, the next release of EE2 (2.3) is scheduled to be released in the second week of October. They’re moving away from their 8-10 week cycle because it was too aggressive.
What does that mean? I don’t know. Too aggressive for the development team or for users having to upgrade? I don’t find upgrading to be that big of a deal but I have heard from others that dread every release because of the work involved. We’ll have to wait for another blog post, which is scheduled for today, to learn more.
There wasn’t any mention of what will be included in the update but I assume it’s mostly bug fixes.

As someone who has borked two different upgrades, I’m in the “too aggressive for users having to upgrade” camp. Until there’s an easy route for upgrading (e.g. WordPress), I’ll dread each new release…

I use EE, WordPress, MojoMotor and Typo3 professionally and of them, EE is easily the largest pain in the arse to update. Why they haven’t addressed this I don’t know why but I’m firmly in the “Crap. An EE update.” camp.
