There hasn't been an update to 2.8.16 since last November (if memory serves me correctly) yet this version's been updated 4 times since. What gives? I know some of the excuses were security related (SHA and Win10), but all 4 versions? Crazy. Why don't the developers release 2.10x? Just curious. Still happy that 2.8.16 works fine (haven not had to re-install it that is).
There are no "excuses", just fixes to give users usable software. I'm glad you weren't affected (or, rather, you feel like you weren't). That is not the case for many other users. There will be at least the 6th update of 2.8.16 to address memory requirements at installation time.
2.10 will be out when it's ready. The
roadmap that lists unfinished tasks is public and has been public for a long time. We might skip e.g. Seamless Clone tool which is only available if you specifically enable it anyway, but the rest needs work.
