Progress is announced on the Discord.It would be very nice of you if any progress could be announced, even if you don't have a specific date for any release.
Since a reply like the one posted can be found quite offensive and rude by many people.
Ok, thank you for the response!There Is No ETA
Updates to Paper do not have any sort of estimate for when they release, ever. Any and all updates will arrive when they are ready, and the only thing to do is wait for them patiently along with everyone else. Join our Discord for more updates on the progress
Spigot has been out for a few days. so shouldn't take paper that long.Just for understanding, generally paper updates after spigot as it's downstream, so if you're looking for progress, check the spigot forums. They have a dev build out, and people are going through and testing plugins now, there's lots of various updates there. Some people are talking about API changes that broke plugins involving vanish/spectator behavior, so it seems there's still some work to be done. If history is an indicator, Spigot usually takes ~2 weeks to become stable after a release, then paper some time after that, then plugins a bit after that. I tell my players don't expect an update to be completely ready for about a month.
This is the thread I'm following, even though dev builds are out they are not ready for use. Because people only run them in test environments, some API weirdness doesn't get discovered yet. There are reports of some weird behaviours, and users in that thread generally recommend waiting for a .1 release. Paper can likely start dev against them, but it would be premature to call spigot "out" https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/spigot-bungeecord-1-19.559742/page-4Spigot has been out for a few days. so shouldn't take paper that long.
Spigot has the possibility to work on the snapshots, but they choose to not publish their work until after the update. That is why Spigot is available so quickly. We however have to wait until after Spigot decides to make push their changes, and only then can we start working.Spigot has been out for a few days. so shouldn't take paper that long.
