Yes but do you still remember this: http://www.mail-archive.com/plucker-dev@rubberchicken.org/msg01892.html We can't expect them to use git snapshots forever, good that they still have a patience.

Exactly! This simply won't happen so why to bother. NEWS is fine but nothing else. > Family commitments leave me very little time for DOSEMU these days > though I'll try. Then there is a little thing called a version number: > 1.4.1? 1.6.0? Or just do as Linus and call it 2.0? No, please, we had already 1.0 which was as buggy as hell, and completely unfixable for a quick update, or for a long update, or at all. Not again. :) If the development is ever to be healthy again, we can define a set of goals for 2.0, but playing with numbers without doing any real work is unforgivable (but then firefox will disagree). Justin, are you willing to take care of the NEWS file and make a kind of a release for SF? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
