Ok, so unless there are any objections, I'll put it to the PMC. > I'm for doing prereleases too; and not only because the first week after > a release you remember that all-important bug you forgot to fix...

Of course, > like svn moving, it should be up to the language pair maintainers. I dunno... I think it could be quite useful if, say, Fran could threaten me with releasing a -pre version of something. Also, on the pre vs. alpha thing - maybe we could have both? '-pre' implies to me that a release will come shortly, while '-alpha' is sort of the no commitment version - en-it is a 'pre' candidate (just a testvoc away), while cs-pl is 'alpha', but feedback would be welcome for both. Plus, they come out the right way in ls: $ ls|cat foo-0.1-alpha.txt foo-0.1-pre.txt foo-0.1.txt foo-0.2.txt -- <Leftmost> jimregan, that's because deep inside you, you are evil. <Leftmost> Also not-so-deep inside you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit: Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE: Pinpoint memory and threading errors before they happen.
