The development snapshots are just that: for testing. There is a certain difference between a development release made by developers, and the git snapshot made by an unaware person. > As for version numbers, avoid calling it 1.5 because that suggests a > devel release. Yes, that's the plan. What are you expecting from just tarring up a git snapshot, with the little to no testing? And, more importantly, without a set of goals, which must be defined for a stable release. So why to avoid? Its never too late for 1.6 or 2.0 - they can wait. > 1.6 would be ok, even if 1.5 is skipped.

Linus _always_ have enough of new features, even if he wanted to call it 100.0. :) And he always have enough of an -rc and testers for those -rc. Not the same here. And the distros will happily pick the devel release: its better than what they have now - a git snapshot. > remaining ones this week and apply the easy ones.

Justin can probably prepare the packages in a few days if we (now _you_, as I already done part) just write down NEWS. My proposal is to keep the things simple, this time. Sky is not falling, you'll have an opportunity to release 2.0 yourself, when you have time. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
