Setup Matters

This week's update on WiX v3.10.3 is, as we historically had, a no-op: After we released the new WiX v3.10.3 release candidate build, we've received positive feedback and none that reports any new bugs or regressions.

This week's update on WiX v3.10.3 is that we did not, in fact, release WiX v3.10.3 on Memorial Day. Unfortunately, a bug report came in that demonstrated the GDI+ fix was not 100 percent effective. Luckily, Sean was on point and fixed the bug.

This week's update on WiX v3.10.3 is that Sean volunteered to take over the v3.10.3 release, leaving me to sip piña coladas on the beach. (Just kidding—the beach is full of blinding and hot sunlight and piña-colada-dirtying sand.)

Today was a big day, full of announcements and technical problems with Skype.

We had a slight-larger-than-average number of issues accumulate during the two weeks since meeting #102. Given that it's evenly divided into the two weeks between meetings, we're concluding that having a slightly-longer-than-average meeting every two weeks is still a good trade.

Today's meeting is number 102 and coincidentally the twelfth anniversary of the first open-source release of WiX. Rob's blog post on that momentous occasion is worth a re-read. And remember, the cake is not always a lie.
