Good idea. Just minutes to late.
Folks: TRIAL7 and TRIAL8 are Release Candidates. I will ship tommorrow or
Friday if no bugs pop up.
That is just sooo _not_ the same idea.
I'd normally say it doesn't much matter - 0.45 could always be a bug
fix version. But it's been _long_ time since a release. So lots of
people will upgrade. And if it fails them...
I think this is a mistake. But it's your process.
Cheers,
Mitchell
