Personally, after the update notification I read the "What's new" Section first and then decide if I want to download the new release or wait another week. The weekly updates are great because you get to know new features "bit-by-bit" and not as a large chunk which you have to read through at once and because bug fixes will find their way so fast into new releases.
I.e. the last release introduced icons for the cover grid which I find very usefull but contain a nasty bug if you use more than one rule. I soon discovered in the forum that this bug was well known and fixed by Kovid and so I am looking forward to the new relase tomorrow 
For me Kovid handle updates and the documentation about it in best practice and I want to say  for this.
As stated before: If you don't like updates that frequent, turn the notifications off, I think it's that simple. |
+ from me too. I do the same.
Kovid's diligence to maintaining his product, getting it to users in its most maintained form, his responsiveness to real needs and his ability to ignore the "noise" so that it does not compromise his objectives is outstanding.
I make that comment from a position of having used many other software products and had very competent software engineers in my project teams building critical real time systems for aviation, etc. Massive great thumbs up from me.
