The problem is the stable branch will have bugs, because there aren't enough users/developers to test it .. and I'm not going to fix them. There's no way at this stage I want to make more administrative work for myself. My policy at the moment is: tarball/Debian package is a stable build, otherwise you live on _the_ bleeding edge. (_the_ = there's only one of them). Why have two edges, with only one developer and only 0.5 users?" If there were more developers and users, it might be different. At present, new users just get told to use the SVN head, that way I can fix bugs quickly -- often within 10 minutes. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
