I would benefit from this as well. I have some fieldwork coming up and I was planning to use 1.4, but I need to get a development plan finalized soon.

Anybody have an answer for this? ODK Collect still shows up as 1.3 in the Play store for me. Thanks. > **···** > > On 18 September 2013 12:17, Thomas Smyth wrote: > > > Timeline? Just curious.

Hi Jason, I think much of the core team is on travel this month. And even if they weren't, ODK is an academic research project and the academic research part takes priority. For that reason, timelines will tend to shift, sometimes by a lot. My recommendation is that you should not plan around any of the tentative release dates. If trunk is stable enough for you, go for it. If it's not, then use the older versions. One thing that Nafundi could do is help institute more predictable release cycles with much heavier quality assurance and testing. If community members are interested in supporting such an effort, send me an email.

Please don't post to both lists. Mitch said in a previous email... "I was delaying releasing ODK Collect 1.4 on Google Play until I got back from my vacations. I will be doing that later this week after a quick check of the issues queue, and releasing ODK Aggregate 1.4 shortly afterward. ODK Collect 1.4 is currently available on the downloads page [http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/downloads/list](http://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/downloads/list) . Unless there are new issues reported against it, I will likely just publish that APK as-is."

I am holding up the 1.4 release as I investigate issue: [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/opendatakit/Problem$20exporting$20from$20encrypted$20forms$20with$20Briefcase|sort:relevance/opendatakit/0gCckq1TLdk/sDIETs0qWCQJ](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/opendatakit/Problem$20exporting$20from$20encrypted$20forms$20with$20Briefcase%7Csort:relevance/opendatakit/0gCckq1TLdk/sDIETs0qWCQJ) I've confirmed that ODK Collect 1.3 repeatedly fails to properly flush the encrypted form data when running on this particular Android 4.3 tablet. I want to have that bug fix in the 1.4 release I push to Google Play. Again, if you need 1.4, use the one on the downloads page. > **···** > > On Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 2:37 PM, Yaw Anokwa wrote: > > > Please don't post to both lists. > > > > Mitch said in a previous email... > > > > "I was delaying releasing ODK Collect 1.4 on Google Play until I got > > back from my vacations.
