Hi,

The confusing part is that all the versions you are referring to call 
themselves 2.0.9, although this was not officially released yet, was it?

correct, and it wont be

The baseline seems to be 2.0.8, so why aren't they called 2.0.8-xx?

partly because the build service reserves the -xx namespace
partly because 2.0.9 was unlikely to be used
partly because of the new features that were added
partly because it was as much based on 2.0.8 as it was on 2.0.7 and
2.0.6 before it...
partly because the changeset was significantly larger than for 2.0.7->2.0.8:
  # hg diff -r STABLE-2.0.8:tip | diffstat | tail -n 1
  1129 files changed, 40768 insertions(+), 34758 deletions(-)

and partly because I thought we'd have a release by now and I'd never
have point people to the results of my experimentation.


It would be great if on the official webpage one could find a reference to or a tarball of a more 
stable release of a particular version (at the moment its always release "1" only, e.g.: 
2.0.7-1, 2.0.8-1,...). After all the official page claims to provide "stable" releases of 
each version ;o))

Bernhard
