I think we're getting close to a release so we should not harrass distro maintainers with that *now* (but we could have done years ago). That reminds me that I tend not to always realize how much time slips between versions, and to forget that sometimes a previous version has some bugs. What I'd expect from our users is to sometimes complain loudly and insist for having a new dev release when the latest snapshot has become more reliable than the last dev release if that makes their lifes easier. A new version doesn't cost much (1 hour to read the changelog, write a human-friendly summary in an announce e-mail and update the site). Of course you probably all realize that I like to mix bug fixes and new features in order to get some feedback on new features, but that's not mean this is systematic either! Cheers, Willy
