Oooops, I wonder if we ever get the chance to do real testing before a
release. I'm very well aware that this is primarily Curt's project but
on the other hand these surprisingly short pre-release stages make it
very hard for peripheral efforts to keep up with the release process.

BTW, in the meantime .... did anyone find the access data for the
freshmeat account ? We didn't announce the pre-release but we should at
least announce the release. We already failed to announce 0.9.3,


I apologize if the schedule was a bit compressed, but I have to work within the constraints of my own spare time too, since I have a full time job and a family to juggle along with everything else. I have to take my spare time slots when I can get them. It can take several hours to roll out a new release, significantly more than that if it's been a while since the last release. I estimate I put 30-40 hours into getting the 0.9.3 release ready.

The other thing to consider is everyone seems to have one more fix they'd like to get in. If we waited for everyone to be happy, we literally would never be able to have a release. At some point we have to draw the line and ship. The 0.9.4 release is simply the current state of cvs as of today, so if more people tried the cvs version and made patches along the way, we'd have less surprises on release day.

Curt.
