LOL

I've reported several bugs myself, one of them being the app crash due to dragging tabs being the latest. I already know that this bug will (most likely) be gone after Calibre 2.1 is released the day after tomorrow, because Kovid already posted a link to the repository file(s) that he changed to fix it.

If Kovid would choose to package all of his bugfixes into one gargantuan update each six months, then having bugs fixed on end-user's computers will just be delayed.

I know nothing about it, but I can imagine that Kovid has automated his build process to such an extent that he can possibly now compile the setup file(s) straight from his repository's working directory and upload them. If so, the only reason not to push daily updates at the end of each day would be the hosting bandwidth.
