Actually, I've been planning on putting together an updated snapshot for a couple of weeks now, one that includes the frameworks scripts and the demos as well. Also, once I've had a chance to check in the recent fix for the Eclipse plugin, the Eclipse plugin that is currently posted should probably be updated as well. So, it seems there is good reason all around to update the snapshots we have available on the web. But, see also here: http://mail-archives.eu.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200502.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] and here: http://mail-archives.eu.apache.org/mod_mbox/db-derby-dev/200502.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] So maybe we should be putting a little more thought into what goes into these snapshots. Perhaps we should be bumping the fourth part of the version after each bug fix that goes in. Does that mean that we need to go through the full release process each time? Or, since we know that there has been such small, well-known sets of changes going into the branches, is it maybe possible to do a more lightweight release process for these small bug fix releases? It would require a little more effort in documenting the changes and keeping the related documentation in the branch (CHANGES, etc.) up to date, but it's worth the effort, and I would be willing to help out with that. Anyway, I'm planning on merging the demo changes from the trunk over to the branch shortly and I would also like to get a new snapshot posted and I will be glad to help out with whatever work is involved to do that. But, I'm not sure that we should just throw another snapshot up on the website. There are clearly some issues with versioning and being able to differentiate between snapshots that should be discussed, so if anyone has any comments, concerns, or suggestions about a better process for posting snapshots to the website, please post them. Thanks, andrew
