Software development takes the amount of time it takes. I figure the longer we wait, the better the released product will be.Įven setting aside that March 2021 isn't over yet, why do you think GHacks is a reliable source of information on release timeframe given that the article author didn't indicate a source for that tidbit and that Macrium thus far hasn't provided any release timeframe information on their own website or forum? Why would you assume that the V8 beta length is purely based on time required for testing as opposed to Macrium possibly having started the beta when users could begin testing some of the new features while Macrium continued to work on building remaining new features that they've decided need to be part of V8? Why would you think that after already asking this question in two other threads you created and elsewhere in other people's threads - and not getting a response from Macrium on any of them - that somehow THIS thread would be the one that made a difference? So many questions!

especially after the result of the myriad of issues that followed the release of v7. and I might add, if I was Macrium I would surely wanna make this release as trouble free as possible for its users. If Macrium won't respond, you'll just have to wait. and I'm not sure anyone else here can either. I wonder what GHACKS knows that we don't know? I can't answer any of your questions, Keith.

Why is it taking a long time to get Macrium Reflect 8 ready for release? How long is it still in testing for? I read the Februpost on that says it will be released in March 2021. By Keith Weisshar - 25 March 2021 2:45 PM
