Most of the optimization work can be backported to stable, but they are too much change to be applied to "stable" that doesn't fix any "bug". But another reason for getting a glib and pango release is because of the Unicode 4.1 data tables in glib, that cannot go into stable. BTW, we are not squeezing two minors into the timeline for one. Gtk+, Glib, and Pango have been making 6-month releases like the rests of GNOME. This time the Gtk+ team decided to go for a longer cycle, skipping GNOME 2.14. Now we've decided that there's no reason to change Pango and Glib's schedule, they are ready to go with the regular 6-month. --behdad http://behdad.org/ "Commandment Three says Do Not Kill, Amendment Two says Blood Will Spill" -- Dan Bern, "New American Language" _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
