Hi all, although we had already two or three runs for doing a 2.1.0 release, it still not happened yet. What I really cant understand is why; nobody expects a 'stable' release, those asking for it are pretty much aware of the fact that 2.1 is ALPHA or BETA, so what holds back a relase? Why cant we do 2.1.x releases just as with 2.0 ?? I remember that we had already tarballs, we tested already, and then it got forgotten, and the tarballs never made it to a public area....
my reasons for asking are mainly: - more people will then test the new stuff, and will hopefully provide feedback. - the feedback is very important for backports. We have a huge number of fixes/changes in 2.1 for which get no vote for backport, even trivial patches which dont change important code (f.e. changing log from ERROR to DEBUG or such). - those not on this list can provide feedback through bugzilla with a release number rather than 2.1-dev which can be anything of the last 1,5 years or so. - those having problems with the stable release can try the 'unstable' 2.1.x and report if this fixes an issue.
