Agreed, we need tests so we can be more confident about refactoring our codebase and checking if we broke backward compatibility. > Also think users that are on the trunk should def register to the developer > list.

I agree that we probably don't want to commit to any API just yet. The main point is making sure we are predictable. Users have the option to stick with a released version or go with trunk. They should be able to make an informed decision about what they want by following the project, and we should make it as transparant as possible for them. Greetings, Marcel
