Anything made public is treated as a release.
This is just plain and completely wrong. I don't know many big-ish opensource projects that doesn't have release candidates, and I haven't see any "distribution" targeted at end users using release candidates. Have you ever see a Linux distribution shipping an rc kernel (that is not only installable by explicit user action) for example? -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JUGAR COMPULSIVAMENTE ES PERJUDICIAL PARA LA SALUD. -- Casino de Mar del Plata
