Hi, It seems to 1.0.1 stable branch contains a commit to "reduce version skew". (commit af454b5bb09bf647b4854dc277f2eefc151b2608) This single commit has those stats: 86 files changed, 241 insertions(+), 178 deletions(-)
This seems to be a combination of many different patches. Some just changing white space, some fixing bugs, some changing behaviour. I find this annoying for the stable branch. I want to be able to upgrade to a new version without having to worry if it's going to break something. If you want to fix bugs, could you please cherry-pick the relevant commits, so that we have good commit message, so that we know why this made it in the stable branch? One of the changed that was part of that big commit was this commit: commit de3bb266f43e5eb9142c6687c4b71846eef2a65b Author: Andy Polyakov <[email protected]> Date: Sun Dec 12 10:52:56 2010 +0000 apps/x590.c: harmonize usage of STDout and out_err. PR: 2323 This results in changed behaviour, and it was already requested that this shouldn't make it to a stable branch. Of course it breaks existing applications. I really can't think of a good reason why af454b5bb09bf647b4854dc277f2eefc151b2608 should have been needed in the 1.0.1 branch.
