Again, I beg to disagree :-) AFAIK the Z releases are bug fix releases which are done when there are enough bug fixes to justify a new release (think: critical mass). Don't get me wrong, if you think that this single bug fix justifies a release, by all means, go ahead. But what I'd like to avoid is that we release too often. This confuses users (I know, I would find it strange) and somehow looks like the product is not so stable. E.g. spring releases Z versions every month or two, though not only with bug fixes but also with added features. And spring 1.2 differs in some incompatible ways from 1.1 AFAIK. Same goes e.g. for Struts. Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
