For each successive RC we have to be more strict about merging only fixes for regressions from previous releases and documentation updates. Any other kind of change can introduce new behavior changes that may invalidate results of RC testing already done by users. If a new problem were to slip in it might not be caught by users (justifiably) not willing to test every RC. Imagine diligently testing rc1 and concluding that it does not break your project. Then the final release comes out and breaks it. Now how motivated will you be to bother testing rc1 of the next release? -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cmake-developers
