A major version bump would have been helpful, and having such a large rewrite be initially a beta could have calmed the hoards.
The world of software engineering has changed dramatically in the last few months
I disagree, but I guess we shall see how this is going to pan out. We've all introduced schoolboy errors in our time regardless of how long we've been developers. Messing up absolute paths because you only tested on relative happens to the best of us, but generally we say "woops" and try to fix it.
Doubling down and blaming users for your fuck up rarely ends well.
I don't think they blamed the users for that mistake, though. They specifically thanked people for reporting the regressions. It's the rage from bystanders which is totally out of proportion with the scale of the issues that they take issue with.
