Yes, I'd agree with that. Note, however, that the releases are essentially just somewhat better tested svn snapshots - mostly just testing by hand. Testing really needs attention, but nobody presently has the required time to spend on it. The release versions also contain unfinished features, hence the 0.x version numbering scheme. -- Craig Ringer ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Podofo-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/podofo-users
