Steve, Maybe I'm crazy, but that is the way that Maui snapshots used to work. Several in the community asked that we instead start releasing snapshots of patches BEFORE the patches were released. After several snapshots of the next patch were deemed stable and complete, then we stop releasing snapshots and release a finished patch. You can see that we started this back in January of this year.
A quote form an e-mail I sent dated 1/18/2007: "Note that we now officially release a Maui patch only after the snapshots for that particular patch prove to be stable and we feel that enough fixes/features have been rolled into them to warrant a new release. Thus patch 19 is not yet listed as officially released, but snapshots for that patch are already available. Snapshots always have the most up-to-date bug fixes, so we recommend trying them out if you experience problems with older versions of Maui." If there is an overwhelming need/demand to change releases back to the way they used to be done, we will be happy to do that. Until that is the case, however, we would like to continue releasing Maui with the current snapshot->patch model. Unfortunately, I think there are going to be community members that stand on both sides of the issue. -- Joshua Butikofer Cluster Resources, Inc.
