When is release of Elsa 2.0 planned?

[tomy2105]

Not a bug but a "simple" question :).
I saw mention of Q1 somewhere, but this is obviously not happening since Q1 is in 15 days :(.
So what is the new estimate, and I'm content with the best guess one.

As things stand the estimate has not been updated since you last heard. The general feeling I have at the moment is that "It's still possible that we could be ready for that deadline". Certainly my feeling is that if the current estimated ready-date is missed, it won't be by much. A number of the issues open against 2.0 are either in a state where the work is done, they just need testing, or actually the issue might be deferred into a later release. The remaining "major" bits of work relate only to the dashboard/designer UI, and progress is being made on those at pace.

The official line on that estimate is stored against the Elsa 2.0 milestone. That's also the first place where it will be updated if the situation changes.

Milestone & estimated date updated

@tomy2105 - FYI this was just posted in the Discord announcements channel by @sfmskywalker

Milestone Elsa 2.0 moved to April 30

The Elsa 2.0 milestone was just updated from March 31 to April 30 to better reflect our current status, since it's unlikely we'd be able to release a proper 2.0 version end of this month.
Although we've made great headway, it has become clear that we simply need more time to build a proper designer.

My expectation however is still that we can at least ship a preview version of the dashboard + designer that will already be more useful than that of Elsa 1. But there are a number of quality issues that need to be resolved before we're ready to assign it the 2.0 stable tag.
