Agree with Andrés, we must be creating branches. GG has just tagged the old-UI, just to have a check-point and wanted all development to happen in the new UI code, as tremendous effort is being put by GG and team along with the HF (Human Factors) for getting this UI. This entire UI design has undergone multiple reviews with various users and deployments. If we create a branch, then we might lose traction in the new UI code, as the older UI will be more stable. GG's idea is to get the new UI stable as early and as fast as possible.
But we are developing some features, then we will have a branch as Andrés mentioned. I assume the idea behind the entire process is appreciated and lets all help get the new UI stable as fast as possible. Any kind of help is appreciated interms of bug reports, comments, critics, etc on the new UI.

For the newui there was branch created and was merged back to trunk only after the development. As this UI has undergone the usability and Human Factor guidelines, it would be good to continue with the new one. We shall fix all the minor glitches if we have any. thanks and regards, gg >>> Thanks for the info. I'll see if I have a chance to test the new UI. I wonder if it makes sense, for the next time, to have tags with version numbers instead of names that are difficult to track. Also, it may make sense to create branches instead of tags, in order to be able to backport bugfixes to them? Just my 2cents. Thanks, Andrés GG Hegde wrote: > All the changes are in trunk.
