I think it's always good to show that progress is being made.
If the timing of a release is pegged to the htmlunit release cycle, then the
amount of time in beta is already determined. If that relationship is made
explicit and the reasons for it are explained, I don't think a lot of people
would complain.
Worse than endless beta is the sense that not enough attention is being paid
to a project. I think that sense grows with the length of time between
releases of any kind, especially for young projects. Release early, release
often, and whatnot.

release. The plan has been for a GA release of JSFUnit in late August or
early September to coincide with the JSFOne conference.
We have three outstanding issues that won't be fixed until HtmlUnit 2.3.
So even if we fixed most of the outstanding JSFUnit jiras, I wouldn't feel
comfortable saying that we can do a GA release any time soon.
However, I'm now thinking that maybe we should do a third beta release as
soon as possible. This will get more people using the new HtmlUnit-based
stuff.
I hate for it to look like we're in endless beta though.
Any thoughts?
