Well, there's been some discussions about this and in the end it I looks like it was decided that minor releases are /not/ simply backwards-compatible bugfix releases. Currently they more reflect whether the -unstable tree has been merged since the last time or not :-), and basically "how significant the upgrade is". The reason this isn't a problem is because there are seldom bugs of the kind which forces users to upgrade in the first place :-) If something like a critical bug which forces users to upgrade comes along and this *does* become a problem I suppose the solution is to backport the fix on the 0.11.1 tree and make a 0.11.1.1 release >>> I have never seen this and I am pretty sure it is unrelated to Cython. >>> If you could send me a link to the compressed install.log I could take a >>> look.

So I won't even bother downgrading Cython (it literally takes hours), my install.log is here: http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/dagss/install.log.gz -- Dag Sverre _______________________________________________ Cython-dev mailing list [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/cython-dev
