Yes that is correct. The "svn" mail list will show just the forrest changes. > My second question, on the ticket, you wrote "Use head of our SVN trunk > (i.e. 0.9-dev) ". Is that what I got with the above checkout? Yes, you did. However, because i made another change a few minutes ago, you now do not have "HEAD". Do 'svn update' to get the new HEAD. > I see in > main/build.xml the line > <property name="forrest.version" value="0.9-dev"/> > Is that definitive? When we make the next release, i.e. "0.9" then one of the release tasks will be to increment that to "0.10-dev". The SVN trunk will always use a version number with "-dev" appended. -David
