I would push for "release early, release often" ... there can be two reasons for a release: 1) an important bug got fixed and 2) a very useful feature got implemented, that should be made available to new users. I think Dia should shift to a frequent release model, where the minor-number is incremented every time even a single important feature or bug gets fixed. In the current state, there might be frustrated user out there (and potential developers who can churn out one-line fixes), who don't take Dia seriously simply because it appears to be stagnated. Rather than ask "why release?", I ask "why not release?" >> I am highly interested in a Gtk update.

New Year TODO item for me: calm down a bit and stay away from "oooh, shiny!" stuff. :P Sameer. -- http://www.it.iitb.ac.in/~sameerds/ _______________________________________________ dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
