My biggest objection to having another 2.1 release is that it will serve no real purpose, besides for us having to deal with another 2.1 release. (More bug reports from 2.1.x, even though they most likely have been fixed in 2.2, and whatever else... and I don't have my epitaph ready either! :P) People are not going to test 2.2 if the 'most requested bugfixes' are fixed in 2.1. They have no motivation to upgrade. I rather have everyone hit 2.2 RC *hard*, and for the next 3 weeks, file as many bug reports as possible, so we can release a better 2.2 release. This will be much better for our project, in both the short and long run. Hope that clarifys things. _______________________________________________ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
