Hi there,

I realize that the 0.3.1 beta release is a beta, but in the interests
of getting the release process better in the future, here's a list of
issues I have with this release (some of them are in your issue
tracker too):

* you didn't update __version__ in setup.py. it gets installed as
0.3.0. That's very confusing to say the least!

*you didn't update the release date in the setup.py either. I
understand that this release happened this year, not in 08.

* on the google code download page, it claims to be a release from
march 08. Initially that caused me to ignore it, as I thought it was a
release *older* than 0.3.0 of some dead development branch or
something. Confusingly enough of course another date in '08 than the
bogus one in setup.py. :)

* it's not mentioned anywhere on the cocos homepage.

* it's not been uploaded to pypi, as a result of which I can't install
it with easy_install. I have to download the tarball and do a manual
install.

* the changelog mentions a 0.4.0 version with an unknown release date,
and doesn't mention 0.3.1beta at all. What did change in this release?

I know 0.3.1b contains some bugfixes (as I couldn't run the scrolling
test I was interested in), but now I'm a bit worried to depend on it
as it's just so difficult to get.

It would make sense to make a little document for any future releaser
that spells out a release procedure that makes sure that these issues
get handled properly before the release happens. Let me know if you
need help with such a document.

Regards,

Martijn
