Please look at these sentences...

"I hope they will decide to release it after they release (something)..."

"I hope they will decide to release it after they have released (something)..."

This sentence sounds weird, but I have seen many times the perfect tense used in the same way...

I mean: "please check it after you have finished your work"

"I hope they decide to release it after they release (something)..."

just withut the "will"

Which one is correct?
