Well. Since we've already made a lot of backwards-incompatible changes since 0.96, I'd like to wait and see if we can land the last one -- newforms-admin and the removal of oldforms -- before we do another release, since it'd be nice to just get as much of it out of the way on one release as possible. That way, people who upgrade don't have to go through the hassle of updating their code just to hear that we're going to break it all again in a little while. The documentation issue is tough, because it really is a RTFM issue: all that's needed is some way to make it very clear to users of 0.96 that they ned to use the 0.96 docs, and I wonder if perhaps changing the documentation landing page to be the 0.96 version instead of the SVN version (and perhaps setting up /documentation/svn/ for those who are using SVN and who can hopefully read the message at the top of every documentation page) might help with that -- the problem is that people are just clicking the first documentation they see, and ignoring any and all warnings to the contrary, so let's make sure that the first documentation they see is the right documentation. So I'd ben tentatively -1 on doing a release, and more interested in finding a solution to the documentation problem -- we're going to need that solution anyway, or else we're going to end up in hot water every time there's something new in SVN that doesn't work in the previous release. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
