Personally I do not have strong feelings about the order of steps. I think that by now the code is sufficiently mature so that from that perspective it can be released. Potential users of this release (like all current users) will have to accept that a more coherent doumentation is still missing. On the other hand, it is probably fair to say that the new code has already more docstrings for its functions and variables than the old code. Comments from other people on this list are welcome!

Re: BBDB release? [was: Fixing completion cycles]
Release. I've been using v3 for some time and it works very well for me. Bringing more users in will also show /where/ documentation is needed most, once the 10 most FAQ on the list are dealt with, 80% of the documentation effort will already be done. -- Philipp Haselwarter -- Try before you buy = See our experts in action!

When I browse the git repo (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bbdb.git), I see no tag corresponding to the latest release version. Can you please clarify? BBDB 3 is still under development. I guess it's fair to say that it is pretty stable by now; quite a few people are using it (I don't know any numbers). But there has been no proper release so far.

Fixing completion cycles
Hi all, For the record, my bbdb version is 2.35. Due to the 'Myrkraverk' in my name, I can not cycle the 'net addresses when I use bbdb-complete-name on myself. This is due to mail-extr-voodoo nuking it and leaving only Johann Oskarsson to look up in my bbdb entry, which isn't there. Here is what I did to fix it: (defun my-bbdb-rfc822-addresses (addrline optional ignore-errors) (flet ((mail-extr-voodoo (a b c))) (bbdb-rfc822-addresses addrline ignore-errors))) (setq bbdb-extract-address-components-func 'my-bbdb-rfc822-addresses bbdb-complete-name-allow-cycling t bbdb-dwim-net-address-allow-redundancy t) It is the default value of bbdb-extract-address-components-func that is to blame here, or rather that it calls mail-extr-voodoo to sanitize. Hope this helps someone, Johann -- Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow! The most comprehensive online learning library for Microsoft developers is just $99.99!
