What is the other fix? This one is not critical (I see it just like a documentation bug: either way we need that check on that field to work that way, we can't simply check the line length). > I am also willing to make a push toward the 0.7 release, if no one is > going to pick up work on the API changes stared by Stefano on the trunk. I had really few time but I think I also slowed down because I never understood if what I was doing was liked or not. It takes a lot to complete stuff, so I would have liked to understand what others thinks we should do in 0.7. As an example I see sometimes we talk as 0.x versions we can do backward incompatible changes trying to reach a good api, other times it seems we instead are "stuck" to the 0.6 version because 0.6 has already a lot of users so compatibility is brought to the table. That said, I say my opinion and I expect others to say their opinions so that we can see where we can find a consensus. - I think 0.6 is not "great" as API, so I would happily break compatibility in order to provide a better api. Main thing is that the 0.6 API does not accept evolution (every non trivial feature will require a backward incompatible change). - IMO current trunk could be released as 0.7.0 with very minor change: it is far from exposing a complete api, but I find it already better than 0.6 and I have already some product depending on current trunk. We saw we proceed at a slow speed, so we should be prepared improving the API while we reach 1.0. - I guess most of changes we have in trunk are not backportable to 0.6 because they have been possible by the major refactorings, but I'm not against this, if anyone sees a way. Can you state yours and also tell something more about "your" 0.7 plan? Stefano
