Depends on your definition of 'stable'. The stable branch is correctly named, because it is in a known state, and only bugfixes are backported. It isn't in a state of flux. I think another idea would be to release things like screencasts against the latest stable branch instead of against trunk. This way, when people download the stable branch they can follow along with the screencast instead of hitting bugs. Or, if the screencast is done with the trunk, wait until the next release before announcing the screencast to the world. Just a thought. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
