While it is good that you are brave enough to try running from our HEAD stream, we don't make any claims about its stability since that is the active on-going development area. As you probably know, we produce regular milestones which we *do* consider to be stable builds. > 1.first of all it doesn't provide the install version for users.

We have no versions of Harmony yet targeted at end users, though we have started some early work at producing packaged installs in preparation. At the moment, we ask developers (like yourself) to take milestones and report problems, and we are very grateful for the help in improving the code based on everyone's feedback. At this stage we would expect developers to be able to download and unzip/untar the milestones directly without much trouble. > 2.I don't know how Harmony control his code.

I expect you are talking about HEAD again, since we are very sensitive to regressions between milestone releases. While there may be regressions in the latest development stream we do try to minimize them by running continuous integration tests suites, but at the rate and pace of change in the code some minor breakages may be expected. If you see a regression that lasts more than a week or so, then it should definitely be flagged as an issue since we may have missed it. > 3.The most important thing is we can't debug our program, which is a > magnificent and complex program, although you can debug a small smoothly. Based on Gregory's note I hope this problem has been resolved and you can make progress once more. Working at the very edge of the latest code is exciting and a bit dangerous at times! Thanks Junguo for your views, and keep them coming. The feedback is important for everyone to hear. Regards, Tim
