0.9.x are not "dev versions" of of APR, it's the maintenance branch which is committed to a stable API and ABI. I don't see what's broken about that. Releasing APR 1.0 today does not solve any problems: - httpd-2.0.x releases do not build against APR HEAD - the combination, were it made possible, of an httpd-2.0.x release and an APR 1.0 release, would have a different module ABI to previous 2.0.x releases, so would need a different major MMN. This defeats the point of the 2.0 stable branch. The fact that Subversion 1.0 releases refuse to build against released versions of APR is a minor (and somewhat unnecessary) inconvenience which is trivial to work around. Having an APR 0.9.5 release would solve that problem, not an APR 1.0 release. Regards, joe
