Re: Is there a schedule for the next release?

2005-05-20 Thread Avik Sengupta
I don't think that having only writing functionality (or the fact that
creating a new drawing removes old one's) are necessarily a problem. 

AFAICS, the issues are a) some files failing to read, and b) some files
being corrupted on re-write, both of which are obvious regressions from
some of our previous releases. 

However, with all the new functionality in, a couple of dev releases on
the way would certainly help.

 write estimates to feature complete, but this one was an exception.  It
 was probably a mistake to have the image stuff on by default since it
 does not properly read them.

I wouldn't mind doing a development release.  3.0 alpha1 or something 
like that.  There's no reason why that should take too much time and 
would give people behind firewalls a chance to test some of the new 
features.

I second that.  People MUST just be aware that this is a development
release.
