I think that the long time between releases is mainly caused by our release process. I cannot sign package installers. As long as we insist on having them for each and every release, I am not in the position to cut a full release anyway. So, what are we going to do? I already proposed not to wait for .pkg installers and just release to selfupdate whenever the release is ready. Rainer
