The problem is that, at this point, we're going for 1.4 so it'll be hard for us to integrate it immediately.
Although, the solution that you outline isn't completely ideal, either. Having too many releases causes users to never upgrade, for fear of another release coming out soon. We've found that the optimal release cycle is around 2-3 months for point release, 1 year for major release. Of course we missed the 1.3.3 release, but that's mostly because the team decided to push through and go straight for 1.4, instead. --John On Fri, Nov 13, 2009 at 2:41 PM, Jason Persampieri <papp...@gmail.com> wrote: > Pardon me for being a little late to this particular party :) > > I just ran in to the "Broken sibling selector in 1.3.2" bug that was > discovered and fixed at the end of March (7 months ago!).
