You'll have to excuse my rudeness, but im sure you can see why its alittle frustrating when the developer spends at times a full work week worth of hours developing the addon, and users gripe about taking 5 minutes to update it when he has fixed bugs / implemented new features.
Im not looking to get into a flame war with you, but you'll have to understand, your not the first person to make this "suggestion". Yet, maybe I was at fault for taking that out on you.
You will see all of the groups which are available regardless of what version you are using, UNLESS there is a protocol change. Protocol changes are very rare, there has not been a protocol change for about 3 weeks now since 5.4.7 launched.
Since there are not frequent protocol changes, you should be able to see / join a matority of groups even if you are 1, 2, or 3 versions behind. With that in mind, there would be no difference in you (or any user), checking on a friday and updating then, or us waiting till Friday to release the update.
With that in mind, it makes no sense for us to wait until Friday to release a version (which lately have just be revisions with a added a, b, c, etc and not full updates). These revisions are released to address bugs. Many of which were identified by users. Now if we waited until Friday to release a version, or revision, maybe we could work out some of these bugs over the week, but chances are we will still miss some, as we cannot replicate every scenario / combination that the user base will encounter. So releasing the revisions / updates when they are available is important so that the community can provide ample feedback as quick as possible.
If we wait till Friday, bugs will most likely be indentified much slower, and some users would be subject to extended periods where they have to deal with a bug instead of us finding out about it, fixing it, and releasing a revision.
I hope I have not slighted you in any way, and I hope the above wall of text will shed some light on our reasoning.
"Was referring to the fact to release it sooner than the suggested new release cycle in the EVENT that there was a major bug effecting the majority of the user base."
-Ah I see what you mean now, I misread your original statement.
