CDK uses a version numbering scheme were odd minor numbers indicate development versions, and even for stable versions. So, 1.2.x is release from the API stable branch. The 1.3.x series, however, is the current development branch, and will be the basis of 1.4.x in time. > Will there be a time > when the functionalities of those two versions will be merged? There is a clear need for a development branch where we can change the API, while maintaining a API stable release where mostly bug fixes get applied. All changes in 1.2.x get merged now and then into the 1.3.x branch. I did such a merge just the other day after the 1.2.6 release. > Probably the > history and philosophy behind this has been discussed somewhere Indeed :) > else and this is not the appropriate place. But this is the right place, and it is good you ask. It is documented somewhere, but there is no harm in repeating the information now and then. > Could you then point out where I could find information on this? It will at least be in the mailing list archives... Please let me know if the above answers all your questions...
