Possibility of having quicker bugfixes releases
I've been testing pycharm for the last 2 weeks and so far it's a great python and django ide, but right now it contains some nagging bugs that prevent
me from using it to it's full capacity, specially the bug where when i type from django. or import django. won't show me only the modules related to
django instead displaying the python modules.
This is super annoying and im pretty sure that others would like more quick bugfixes releases as well like the quick and small 96.34 release instead of
having late releases with a bunch of features that might contain bugs as well.
Please consider releasing 96.66 or 96.88 because checking the bug tracker i see quite a lot of bugfixes that could make this editor even better that it
is right now.

Hello pixl,
Right now, PyCharm is in active feature development stage, and slowing down
feature development in order to produce more bugfix versions would eventually
delay the 1.0 release. which is something we do not want. The 96.34 release
was made because the previous build contained a critical performance regression
which made PyCharm unusable for many users. The bug you're talking about
is nagging indeed, but isn't serious enough to make PyCharm really unusable.
Typically we try to stick to a 2-week schedule for releasing new builds;
right now we're behind this schedule because we need to finish one of the
features that has been rewritten after the previous release. We plan to release
a new build this week, hopefully as soon as today.

Thank you for the quick reply, even a bigger thank you if the new build
get's released today :-) and i can understand that it takes
effort to make a build, get bug reports for them, write release notes etc
can take quite a while. Another thank you is for the fact that you've written
the intention of having a new build every two weeks or so, it's important because
even if you do miss the build time i can still have a rought timeframe of when
the next build will arrive.
And can i just say it's about time a company started investing time and money to
produce a good python ide? Pydev is great now also being opensource, but competition
only drives more inovation, and even if i am aware that pycharm will be a paid product
it's already having some features right now that are worth paying for like the good
( and looking forward for great :-) ) django suport even for the template part.
