Great suggestion, Jason. Very sensible. I will do just that.

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
