If you commit the same change to the cython-branch, one can release a bugfix release immediatily with much less extensive release checking (i.e. there might be bugs introduced by some of the new features since the release?). My opinion: I'd like a system where releases of cython-devel always enter a period of freezing and beta stage and lead to incremental "major" version (i.e. 0.11), while cython can be released at will and increments minor version (i.e. 0.10.1). The logic is thus that a) when there is a new feature, the first number is incremented, b) never commit new features to cython, c) changes in cython-devel doesn't need to "slow down" or freeze (so that beta-testing can happen without introducing new bugs in the meantime) just because we need to get a critical bugfix out the door. -- Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
