    Hi,

    Can you please tell me the ETA of the final build of 5.4? I need it because of some fixed regration bugs.
    I know its going to be June but when? (Because of the road-map)

    No, we cannot tell you the final ETA of 5.4.

    You saw it here first - UT will have to kill you if you find out!

    But seriously, self-imposed deadlines are so 2015. I'd be happy to see more resources thrown at fixing bugs and only a few isolated features being added now and then, than the old way of trying to fill half a page of bullet points with new features.

    I do want them to rush finishing features which make working with multiple platforms within one project better though ;)

    5.4 will be released sooner rather than later, where later is past sooner, but not later than much later. Much later is after sooner and later but before later still.

    Absolutely! You really don't want them to continue this downward spiral of bugs that make it into final releases.

    I mean the 5.3.5p4 does not have all the bug fixes 5.4b21 has. Why is that?

    A number of reasons, one reason is there are bugs in 5.4b21 that do not exist in previous version of Unity.
    This is because they changed some features and the way they work, hence creating new bugs.
    Any bugs found in 5.3.5 that apply to Unity 5.4 are forward ported I assume.
    So you will see a mixture in the changelogs. The other reasons I cannot comment on..technical.
