Wallets taking too much time for updates ?

[OmegaStarScream]

I'am the only one  who found this little weird ?
wallets suddenly are taking too much time to make updates , Electrum is an example they was used to make updates and releases each one or two weeks and now it's been more then one month with no releases yet , same goes for Bitcoin Core I remember it was faster then this and Multibit HD from August aswell .

I know that they are already doing a great job and there is no way I could do what they are doing and I appreciate their efforts of course but was just wondering what's going on

I think it's pretty normal, maybe they don't have anything to update at all.
Also, not every update is good. They could remove good features or they made new bugs in their wallet

There is always something to do if you ask me .
If  you see here for example : https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/RELEASE-NOTES there is Release 2.5 however it got never compiled and if you see here aswell : https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum you will see changes all the time however they are not applied compiled/released .

Maybe their script is still have a bug or something which need to solve before release it to public, it will be bad stamp if they release the new version which still have a bug.

I'm sure it's not marketing techniques like a smartphone market, because it's open source.

I am happy with this!

I hate when I go to update a wallet, then I go and check it on virustotal and I see that 1/61 or 2/61. Then I have to think about it really hard will I proceed with the update or not!

I guess I am just like the miners, I update only when I really, really have to!
