I think this is a great idea, and as I'm putting together a freenet package for mac os x, I'm looking at more effective updating schemes. What would be excelent would be to provide a way to get the latest snapshots off of freenet itself, although I'm not sure about this technically speaking. Is it a good idea to encourage that kind of traffic?
Version numbers aside, Freenet is getting much better, and I tend to think we should be thinking about trying to improve some of the things about the project that are non datastore issues, like providing clients under the established structure and improve the portability as much as we can. There's a lot that less experienced coders can do to contribute still. -Tom Longson --- Gianni Johansson <giannijohansson at mediaone.net> wrote: > On Wednesday 23 January 2002 17:52, Ian wrote: > > > > If no serious bugs are discovered in the next few days I think we > should > > release 0.5pre1. > > > > Remember, our metric for releasing 0.5 is when the 0.4 snapshots > are > > more stable than 0.3.9.2 (our current stable version).
