I thought I had already sent this to the dev group but I don't see it in the archives. So here it goes:
I really like buildr and the sanity it has brought from using it to replace maven. I would like to see it grow and prosper. One complaint I have is how infrequent the releases are. It has been nearly a year since the last minor patch release and over 5 months since the pre release of the next minor patch release. It seems that if there are one or more bug fixes in place then a minor patch release could be done every couple of weeks, every week or even every couple of days. I think this is important to the long term adoption and health of the project. I don't want to have to build and host my own version of the gem while waiting months for an official release. Now I understand that the maintainers have lives but doing a release should be quick and simple, especially if it is a patch release. So, is there a good reason that buildr can't be released more often? Thanks, Russell Teabeault
