Not that I know of. Not that I know of. Yes, website needs to be updated and I don't have the time to do it before several days. Edit rights should be good enough for at least Jonathan and a couple others but I'm definitely open to broadening the accesses to the proper people: simply send me an email (and you can do that for any issue with the website).

But I'd like to see how they fit with the current plans. I think a time-based release would make sense. Something like 1 year. There usually aren't huge new features that land all at once but rather smaller improvements which add up over the time. I think this has been an issue in the past and people were wondering whether the changes warranted a release or not. Meanwhile, downstreams were waiting for a new release to be able to benefit from all the small improvements. It's also possible to argue about the release periodicity. I wouldn't go over 1 year. I wouldn't go below 6 months because of the additional work. Of course, since I can't be considered as an active code author in the project, I won't argue much about these. -- Adrien Nader ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Mingw-w64-public mailing list Mingw-w64-public@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mingw-w64-public
