Btw that's been true for a year now. Dbzer0.com has been doing it at least that long
Yeah, but version 1.0 of the addon was released yesterday or so...
Maybe so, but the title is still misleading.
Titles make hype. Getting to 1.0 is a milestone and a place that we can agree to celebrate. Sure, it worked one commit before the 1.0 tag too, but that's hardly misleading
So what's different in this case, the addon makes it easier for anyone to get started without technical experience?
1.0 release means going from "we hope this works, but if not, be patient because we're still working on it and let us know so we can try to fix it" to "we're pretty confident this works as intended well enough to make it an official feature with announcements and PR."
This goes for all software.
It's weird to call it misleading. Yes, it might have worked, but it was a testing relationship, not an official one.
Ah makes sense
