This depends on a variety of factors, including how big of a task the features planned
for the next release are, and real-life circumstances (I'm also working 45 hours a week full-time
alongside this project!) - I'm aiming to release new features at least monthly, with bug fixes in between.
You can check out the issue tracker to see which new features are
planned, and when it's expected to release: Issue Tracker
Major and minor updates are being worked on alongside each other, meaning
that large tasks - like adding new features - won't impact bugfixes, which are released in the
minor updates.
The versioning system is as follows: {year}.{major_version}.{minor_version}.
The major version increases by 1 for each new feature release, while the minor version is based on the
number of days since the last major version released.
For example, 2021.0.500 becomes 2021.1.1 when a
major feature is released, while bugfixes, if released the following week,
will increment it from 2021.1.1 to 2021.1.8
As a desktop app, we can give you more control as a streamer. All of your countdowns and Subathon values are stored in individual text files in your documents folder, meaning you can display these however you'd like in OBS. It also gives more control over updates and feature releases. Also, I find WPF interfaces are much nicer to design than HTML ;-)
