I don't see the statement you're referring to, or there's been a misunderstanding. Regardless: you're probably using "julianightlies," but you want "juliareleases."
Here's how I think about it: "juliareleases" = for users "julianightlies" = for testing the current development version Both are used for automated package testing on Travis, so (1) developers who use master can find out if they're breaking packages by using 0.4-only features, and (2) developers who use 0.3-release can find out if changes in 0.4 have broken their package. Both are extremely useful. --Tim On Wednesday, September 24, 2014 11:31:05 PM Hans W Borchers wrote: > I wanted to stick with 0.3.
