Looking over the release mail, I agree with Alan that we should try to get more frequent releases. We have the "release early" thing down, but we also need to "release often". However, we should certainly avoid the disasters of hasty releases in 0.86, 0.88.1, 0.90. We should probably in the future make a CVS branch when we start a release cycle, so development can continue while a release is being tested. While it will take a little more effort to keep the two versions in reasonable sync, we cannot afford to spend month and a half out of seven months just on release. It may well enough up with a release cycle almost continually in progress, as improvements done during the previous cycle might be enough to start the next cycle immediately. It may be a good idea to have one person almost permanently in charge of release handling.
