Absolutely worth it, IMHO when maintaining a package, "fixing a build" should trigger an immediate release. This is even so when the only change is external, like a new build tool or new release of another library. Whether the actual fix is 2 characters or 2k of code is completely irrelevant -- there's even a whole number in the PVP reserved for trivial changes that don't break the API but warrant a release :) cheers, Conrad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
