I wholeheartedly support additional releases. "Release early, release often" as they say.
Not only does it give developers (those who need releases) early access to your work, it also gives us practice at making releases. As Mark says, the more often we do it, the easier it will get, and the less issues will be found - hopefully less than 6 release candidates! And, I encourage *anyone* in the community to help in the task of validating releases and voting on them - whether that is for technical merit or legal correctness. As to whether this should be 0.4 or 0.3.1, I personally have no opinion :-) Regards, Upayavira On Thu, 05 Aug 2010 19:54 +0000, "Mark Slee" <ms...@facebook.com> wrote: > I'll defer to you on this.
