Hi. There's a couple of things I've been working on which I though would be good additions for a first release, but I ran into a few problems and I haven't time to get them working. So if y'all are happy to cut a tarball now, that's fine with me.
Re the numbering, I thought 4.99.0 suggested we're making pre-releases towards 5.0.0. How about we use even/odd unstable/stable releases? i.e. when 5.0 is done we move to 5.1 immediately, make a number of 5.1.x releases, and when it's stable release 5.2.0. We need to tag and branch. We'd tag odd releases, branch even ones. Odd releases are test releases, no promises. Even releases are stable releases, we may decide to backport bug fixes etc. We tag naviserver_4_99_0, we branch naviserver_5_0_0, we tag naviserver_5_0_1, we tag naviserver_5_1_13, we branch naviserver_5_2_0 ... ~ One thing it would be nice to have is a 'make dist' target. You really want the version number embedded in the configure script for that. Then you want to derive the version info in the header from that same number, rather than rely on manual syncronization. Which is a great oppertunity to introduce a config.h header and revamp the build system, including standard install paths. But then you need to teach the server init system how to find and load modules, and that code is completely broken. Hey, I got carried away :-) I'll try and break some of that up into sensible chunks early on for 4.99.1.
