I know certain bugs can be really annoying (even crippling). Other times
it's not that bad...

I am wondering how often updates are desired. I understand it can be a real
hassle to get notices of a new update everytime you open armybuilder.

But how long do you want to wait? Should their be a week between updates?
The longer I wait, the more bugs I can incorporate into a release... on the
other hand more releases means you'll get your bug fixes sooner.

Opinions please?

Thanks,

I suppose it depends on how bad the bug is. I would say incorrect
stats/equipment would be more important than a point value error, for
example.

Depends on the bug. The Daemon Prince thing would probably warrant an
update, but some other problems might not require an update--for example,
I've got my inquisitor data file that gives a validation error when you
select some armour types. Doesn't impact use of the file, so I'm in no
major hurry to fix it. But the other big bug, calculating costs, was more
important to folks, so I fixed it and released the fix.

So, you'll probably want to exercise judgement. Too many updates is bad,
but if it's a major bug, I'd put out an update. Minor bugs can wait...

I'd say every 2-4 weeks, unless something REALLY important makes you
need to update sooner, like a huge bug...
