In an attempt to untangle the mess I got myself into with version numbers, the next BBDB version will be 2.32, and the subsequent developer release will be 2.33. This gets me vaguely back into "odd numbered releases are developer toys", albeit not in the way I'd like. Unfortunately, renaming BBDB-2.4 as BBDB-2.4.0 would, as best I can tell, confuse the hell out of automatic upgrade toys such as apt and RPM without auxillary massaging of versioning, and I don't feel I've done quite enough work to justify a BBDB-3.0 release - heck, 3.0 is probably for whoever takes it over after me. 2.32 should be out in a day or two, once I've figured out whether anything in the current build is heinously broken or not. I'm sorry it wasn't sooner, but for some reason my brain shut down for a few days and I couldn't get anything useful done (although I now have a homemade Perl/Tk map editor of sorts for Midtown Madness 2...); that spell appears to have passed. I'm also trying to avoid getting into incremental parallel builds since I simply don't have the capacity for it; I don't have automated testing (for regression tests) and I don't have a horde of willing testers who will gleefully pelt me with bug reports, so the development cycle will remain as a single user release and a single development release, leapfrogging each other up the version numbers. I've added in two more third-party items to the bits area - bbdb-signature.el and bbdb-anniv.el. I've no idea what these do, but they were contributed to me in good faith for inclusion in the central BBDB code repository, so I've put them with the rest of the unsupported bits. I may modify the tarball generator so that these aren't included in a distribution tarball; then again, I may not. Fickle whims and all. And, hmm, I think that's about it. Cheers, Waider. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me.
