It's two othre things that's good to not have too many full package releases: - developers know when things need to get done - users don't get flooded with new releases, and know when there is a full release BTW, in the past, we would also trigger a new bugfix release of a full package once in a while. I would propose that we will restrict that to security issues in the future only. cheers, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
