Public release
We get a lot of questions from our users when Installer will be available on the public repository again, and we and really happy so many people are interested in the installer project.
We initially took installer back into private beta because of a massive backend change which would need proper testing before we could release it to the public again.
The last Installer betas which were available on the public repository were from before we switched to using our sandboxed APT implementation, and more than 600 commits behind.
Since then, we've rewritten a lot of the backend, and it shows. Installer's stability is now infinitely better than with the public beta's. We've also added a lot of features our users requested. So now, with RC11, everything seems set for a public release.
We believe RC11 is the last major RC we will send to our beta testers (we may send RC11-1 to fix some tiny UI inconsistencies and such). If everything works out as we think it will, we will release Installer publicly within the coming week.
We'd like to thank everyone for their patience and their continued support. It has been heartwarming to the team to see the user base grow every day, and constantly receive messages from happy users.
Thank you,
