In truth, I try to update the snapshot repo everytime there is a significant change to the trunk for framework, but I admit that I forget to do it. We should have probably pushed a snapshot a couple of weeks ago before I started on some of the require-bundle work and I could probably push a snapshot now with the initial commit of the require-bundle work. So, yes, it is a little out of date. There really is no real trigger to deploy, but we should be on top of it more. I will push a snapshot as soon as I am back home tomorrow and will try to stay on top of it more (or at least until we think of a better way to handle it). Also, feel free to bug us about it. :-) -> richard
