It would be nice to have even this information, but a tentative roadmap would be even better. Right now I'm a bit confused, because on the new website there is nothing mentioning the difference between development and stable releases. (Is there any difference?)
In Debian we have a bug requesting an upload of 1.5.3: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660523 As a co-maintainer of the meld package I'm generally against uploading upstream's development releases to unstable, but since 1.5.3 seems to be stable and Julian's request makes sense. I would be much happier if I could upload 1.6.0, a release said to be a stable official release by upstream. I have a few questions which hopefully clarify the situation: How should we handle the Meld releases? Is the separation of development/stable releases still in effect? Can we expect a stable release in the coming few months? > > In case people are interested, the things I'm looking at landing when > I get a chance are: > > * autotools port (still uncertain whether this is a good idea, but > there are reasons...) > * port to use gtkrc colours (This involves a weird trade-off.
