It seems a bit much to kick us up to 2.0. This is hardly a major release. If being consistent with the more common numbering convention is important, I'd rather see us consider this a minor release and kick up to 1.9.0 (with development snapshots being considered patches). The differences between our current stable release and this one are mostly bug fixes, and perhaps a few extra features (like, did we have the default shapefile stuff in there for the 1.8.4 stable release?). The more I think on it, the more I think that stable releases should be considered a good definition of minor releases, and that snapshots make sense as patch releases, since they're invariably just a few bug fixes different from the last stable version. > Curt, WE7U wrote: > >I think we should put out a stable release as soon as possible. > > > >This seems like a good time to do it as it has been some months > >since the last, plus the codebase has been fairly stable, with > >mostly bug-fixes going in for a while. > > > >This is just a feeler to see if anyone has any major headaches with > >it.
