I am in total agreement. A stable 1.3 branch is definitely needed. I think it would be very confusing for a new WW user to be expected to pull from the CVS head when the head potentially changes minute by minute. The 1.2 release has been totally ignored because work continued on the head to create the 1.3 release.
IMO the feature sets should be better defined with specific goals so that developers know when a release is ready to be baked. I might be wrong but it seems that 1.3 was arbitrarily created because its been long enough since the 1.2 release. Consistent logging, performance enhancements and stability seems to be the goals of 1.3 from what I can tell. I an very confident that myself and several others on this list would help to maintain the 1.3 branch if necessary. BTW great job guys! WW does indeed rock!
