Ok, I'd better move to the trunk then...

So if the trunk and the 1.1.x branch have grown so far apart, wouldn't
it be useful to create a tag from the trunk once a month or so to mark a
stable build? From the messages on this list, I get the impression that
trunk builds are broken once in a while, so working on head revision is
probably not a good idea when you are trying to develop a uDig add-on,
and not uDig itself.

Incidentally, I always assumed that the "RC" in "1.1-RC14" stands for
"Release Candidate", so I was wondering when the magic 1.1.0 release
would finally arrive. 

Now I get the impression that the 1.1.x branch is simply your stable
branch and that you provide bugfix releases in regular intervals.

Maybe it's just a matter of personal taste and habit, but I think it
would be more intuitive to call these stable releases 1.1.14, 1.1.15
etc. and to start creating release candidate tags 1.2RC1, 1.2RC2, ...
from the trunk until the trunk gets stable enough to cut a 1.2.0 release
and a 1.2.x release branch while the trunk moves ahead towards 1.3.

Is there a particular target in terms of functionality or timeline for a
release 1.2?

Regards,

Harald
