It's just a fact of life that most people will wait until a release to do their testing, and that's when the bugs will start coming in. In fact, isn't that the point of an RC? It's enough a release to get people to think a release is imminent and they should really test their stuff, but not such a release that their are announcements and major version bumps and ABI freezes and all the other stuff that gets awkward when bugs suddenly show up. So I say it's just the RCs doing their job, and go ahead and put out RC7 (either now or in a week), until the bug reports settle. Then 1.3 comes out and you can bet a bunch of new bug reports will suddenly come in then. So I think this is pretty normal, maintain your sanity and keep up the good work :) _______________________________________________ fltk-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk-dev
