Yes, I share this view -- I tend to think of it in the direction of time-based release cycles and no so much what it says in trac. However I like the split between 0.11.x and 0.12 because it helps get some kind of sense of what needs to go in which repository -- i.e. does it make things unstable, or require something which already went into unstable? I like filing new trivial bugs to the "-devel"-release for this reason. About "wishlist", I think that just a lot of those bugs should be moved out of "wishlist"; feature requests should go there IMO. Anyway, this is not very important, but I think I'll create a 0.11.3 rather than mix things into 0.12. -- Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
