The Cython developers must support a version of Cython through the entire cycle of a minor release. You don't have to stop working on Cython but the version included in a release must be maintained without adding new features. Exampple: If we would include Cython with Python 3.1 then you have to provide a working, (mostly) bug free and feature complete version of Cython for the firt beta release of 3.1. This version of Cython must be supported until the end of the 3.1 release cycle a couple of years later. You are allowed to fix minor bugs, you must fix major and security bugs, but you are not allowed to introduce new features. In the mean time you can work on Cython 1.1, 1.2 etc. Christian _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
