Carbonite 4.03x, request for information

[Fyrstar]

Yes, I've read the forums. Yes, I've followed the install instructions. Yes, I love the addon and all the hard work that's been put into it. No, I'm not a donor. Yes, I should be since I refuse to play WoW without Carbonite. Yes, I will be a donor once again when Cat fully releases and Carbonite is there as well.

HOWEVER.

I've glanced at some responses to some requests for help since Cat prerelease came out, and the responses were a teensy bit less than supportive. I can see the stress and restraint from the authors in dealing with difficult posters, and it's quite admirable.

I, too, have downloaded 4.03x. I've placed all the folders into the addons in 4 categories. It still, unfortunately, does not work. I will do a reinstall of the addon shortly.

However, making comments to posters such as "I don't understand why people continue to post about problems that are identified in other threads" is a bit bad consumer relations.

On the other hand, people coming in and jumping up/down screaming for immediate assitance doesn't make things easier either.

What I'm requesting is a timetable that we can look forward to for a stable version of Carbonite to be released. I am not a coder, so I have no clue how much work is involved, but I made addons for Warcraft 3 (Battle Tanks, anyone?) so I know the work is frustrating.

I've heard rumors about Cliq, but I won't get into those. I will just repeat my earlier question, and ask that the mods "Take a deep breath" before answering.

What date range are we looking at reasonably before a stable Carbonite is released? I'll provide a template so that all one has to do is fill in the blanks.=D

On a more serious note, thank for very much for the incredible work in the past for a "really should have made me pay for it" addon.
