: I propose merging the following additional bugfixes to the 0.1 branch: My only question from the peanut gallery would be "why 0.1.1? why not just roll out 0.2?"
I understand the fundemental value in bug fix point releases, but Lucy is still a very young project, I can't imagine thta API/feature stability and back compat is a that big of an issue yet. I mean ... if you want to cut a release, cut a release. i just wonder if the value to users of a 0.1.1 release is really worth the effort to backport these changes compared to moving forward with a 0.2 release. Are any changes on trunk so radical that any of the existing 0.1 users who might upgrade to 0.1.1 wouldn't upgrade to 0.2? The bug fix changes list you are proposing seem entirely related to build/run protability, which means anyone who was bit by those trying to install 0.1 probably isn't running lucy at all becaues of it (correct?) so if they upgrade they won't really care if it's 0.1.1 or 0.2. LIkewise anyone who's running 0.1 fine won't have any reason to upgrade if you put out a 0.1.1 (because if it's working for them on their OS those bug fixes probably don't affect them) ... but they might be interested in upgrading to 0.2 if it's also got new features. food for tought -Hoss
