To release or not to release…

By Zevan | March 31, 2010

So I have a QuickBox2D editor that I've had since the earliest version of QuickBox2D. It is really pretty buggy and imperfect. I'm wondering if I should release it even though it's really buggy... my main issue is I won't be able to guarantee that it is a safe editor to use for real projects.

Thoughts? Should I release it anyway?
