Hi Mark, I have no release-cutting experience either, but I know that for past webware releases, there was a series of beta releases (i.e. 0.8b1, 0.8b2, etc.) which gave people a chance to try things out and uncover important bugs before the "official" release was produced. Labelling a release as 'beta' also lets people know that they might experience undocumented side effects, etc. when upgrading. Internally a fair bit has changed since the 0.8 release, so this is quite possible. I would therefore suggest that the upcoming release be called 0.9b1, and that when we post it on the website, we add a note encouraging people to post feedback/bugs to the sourceforge bug tracker. Then we can sit back for a few weeks, fix any issues which are reported and then continue from there (either with another beta or with 0.9 final). Thanks for your continued persistence with making this release happen. Let me know if I can help in any way. peace, Jason ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Oracle Space Sweepstakes Want to be the first software developer in space?
