Just a suggestion but would you be able to release the 2018 beta version that other users have been using for the time being? It would be better than nothing and it's supposedly pretty stable

Thanks,
Jason

I asked that the first week of 2018 release and was told no, "we have to wait for final core build" but I totally agree. Would have been a nice gesture 37 days ago as well. It's probably not a Juanjgo thing. He'd probably release his plugin. We need someone from otoy to release to the general public the core beta or something I'm guessing. *shrug*

Yes this waiting on core engine update.

Why are you saying this week if you can't do it ! Pffff ![/quote]


"We are planning ..." means not we do it! There is a big difference. one is the plan. then others is the reality. Furthermore. This week is over in 2 days.
Let people work in peace. Thank you.

We are planning to roll out RC 3.08 this week. Many small but important updates made it in there since test 6, a lot from user feedback, which is important given significant changes coming from OSL, toon shading, new metalic materials and more. We felt it best to incorporate everything we could from 3.09 (apart from the denoiser) into the 3.08 stable release, before moving onto the AI denoiser test releases.

Sounds too ambitious to me. I would have stuck with a stable release that synced with LW 2018 release some 40 days ago. Those users have been left high and dry with promise after promise. Looking forward to what you have coming....but as you can see in the forums the top read threads are those about the release you guys said was coming nearly 40 days ago.

Sorry about that, It took longer than we planned, but this work is done. 3.08 RC is out of internal testing as of today (Friday). We're now working to make sure we get all plug-ins synced to this version and released in tandem where possible.

All I can say is "interesting".
