Quite a few Django projects are using the trunk version instead of the stable version for their addons, which is annoying for me running the stable version. The problem is that Django has been so long without a release that the stable version is now a stale version - it reminds me of Debian taking so long with their releases. Every once in a while a release is needed for all the developers to group together on a common target, instead of being forced to pick between 0.96 and trunk. I'm not looking for a 1.0 release, just something to keep developers going with a release until 1.0 is ready. At the moment people are forced to pick between stale and trunk, which ends up with more people picking trunk. The longer you leave it, more incompatible changes are going to be introduced between 0.96 and 1.0. If a release is made between then it gives people a chance to update their sites to fix any problems with compatability, as well as a chance to play with some of the new features. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
