Beyond that, there does seem to be other and more differences aside from just differences on release. Really should figure out how all can play in the sandbox together. If not, then make two, and idenfity them as different. While they can be the same. Nothing wrong with that.
Its been communicated that 1.3.3.10 is a bug fix compilation. It will become more commonly understood as time passes. If I could have fixed the bad description on SF - I would have - but that is not something I have access to. Never-the-less, the version is still 1.3.3, and nothing more. People need to [re]learn how version numbers of software are applied.
Could be like assp and assp-stable/assp-legacy/assp-community/etc Those are all pretty horrible, but you get the idea. Same name, just a modifier to reflect state and/or relationship.
Unfortunately the boilerplate text on the SF site reads like bad promotional marketing. It really needs to be reworked, and be more descriptive of its use and relationship to the project as it exists today. Its definitely misleading. The 1.3.3 strand has/had been problematic for many people because of its initial premature release. So its no surprise that the next "stable" code to put on SF is lagging on the numbers until it (a more recent version) is verified as such. There is no organization or tracking of whose running which OS, which version of Perl, which specific version of ASSP, etc, to properly correlate if something is truly "stable". So the waiting game has simply been extended a bit for code that is posted to SF.
I'm not in control of what gets posted to SF. But this is my understanding of why the version posted there has not included 1.3.5 or 1.3.9 code. Its simply been too difficult to verify and validate which would be an appropriate choice for stable code to post and not cause problems for an unsuspecting admin.
~~~~~~~~~~For Fritz: Instead of requesting deletions of a perfectly good (and indexed) forum board, and ones own account from the forums completely - it would be more prudent to simply ignore threads that are not of interest. Splitting forums into more diverse topics and/or modifying their working descriptions is always an option too.
I'm always willing to play nice - even when I act like a dick back to those I feel are acting like a dick to me. I'm still here willing to play and help where I can - and even bury the hatchet completely. I've said this multiple times in the past. I still mean it.
