Hi Marek,
when I go to http://saftsack.fs.uni-bayreuth.de/~latex2ht/,
there is an empty file stating `LATEST IS v98.2beta8',
but l2h-latest.tar.gz is of same date and size as
l2h98_2beta6.tar.gz. This is inconsistent. Futhermore
IMHO betas should never be call latest, which means go
into the public without telling it is beta. So latest would
probably be l2h98_1p7.tar.gz? (And why is this not found
on www-dsed.llnl.gov? Many people still go there.)
Is saftsack now the official primary site or only for developers?
If it is official, the pages on www-dsed.llnl.gov should state
that. (This is also induced by Robin's answer to Ross's mail.)
So what is actually the latest official release? I strongly
recommend releasing at least two offical versions per year.
But this also means, since we now have 1999, if you release
v98.2 beta8 you should name it v99.1.
So you people are doing a great work developing, but the
marketing is not as good as it should be. Even people
listening this least (as me) are not sure about the current
state of the releases. IMHO two real releases per year at
least show that there is really development on the way.
Even if the changes are small, e.g. bugfixes, one should
raise the release-numbers, so probably 98.1p7 should have
been named 98.2?
Nevertheless, thanks for all your work,
Andreas Schott.
