AFAIK Alfred wasn't around yet at that time. He certainly wasn't responsible for the 0.2 release. Bushnell made the 0.2 and 0.0 releases, 0.1 never existed. > Actually there would be (at least thats what ams says) not that > much difference from a GNU 0.2 release (1997) or a GNU 0.3 > release (2007).

No, that's wrong. What Alfred is claiming is that there would be not much difference between the latest *snapshot* of GNU -- which he released at the beginning of 2006 IIRC -- and a new snapshot made now. (IMHO that's not true BTW; there were some pretty relevant improvements. But well...) Could you point them out to me? Maybe we should make a new one in that case.
