Hi Jeff
congrats on all the great work. That all sounds super. A new
AOLserver release would be amazing, but maybe seeing as 4.0 was first
released 8 years ago, we could consider that it's about time for a
move to 5.0? Not wanting to get too Firefox-y about it, but I think
it would be good for the project.
I think that any new release would be benificial; but I'm a bit
old-school about version numbers. The hairs on the back of my neck
stand up every time I get the monthly popup message for a new major
version of FireFox.
Major versions = can break functionality in a non-backwards compatible way
Minor versions = can have fairly sizable changes and new features, but
things can generally be expected to keep working
Point versions = small new features, bugfixes, no incompatible changes
I realize at least one of my changes can violate that, I'm hoping it's
enough of an edge case to slide.
IMO, a 5.0 release is a chance to incorporate major changes, such as to
the way that interps are iinitialized (there's some ideas from Jim on
this somwhere). The stuff I've done so far I think is still in the
point release realm.
