I haven't followed discussions about whether more RCs will be released or not, so maybe this is not relevant but I just thought about how other projects generally handle this. It is common to have a pattern of unstable vs. stable version numbers, so what's currently released as Release Candidates might use a specific number scheme, like odd release numbers, and later move to an even release number when the module is considered stable. So version 11.x would be considered "unstable", meant to be used for testing/beta purposes only, and version 12 is the same thing functionally but considered stable. If there's a pattern, NetBeans can even warn users in its splash screen if running an unstable version. Just my two cents, again maybe this has been discussed already and I missed it - but I think this is a common and convenient pattern. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
