I've raised a tracker: 1241830, so that there is visibility of the
problem. Does anyone think this is serious enough (as it breaks
backwards compatibility) to warrant thinking about another release?
Well, it certainly warrants thinking about one :) And you've already
started thinking about one, or you wouldn't have written this!
Indeed
It has bitten Daniel, and may bite others. If we are planning another
release in the near term (a month or so) I wouldn't think it is
necessary to put one out now. But if we are not planning another
release in the near term, then I would recommend doing one now to
avoid problems for other people.
I would have though that targeting a bug-fix only release for a month's
time might be realistic. I'd like to get the following done:
- fix as many of the trackers as possible
- get all the current sample code to work properly
- include all the examples from the tutorial (and check that they all
work :-), fixing the tutorial as necessary
- work on the test suite
- get a semi-decent web-page up as our Homepage at SourceForge.
If you do choose to make a new release, I am available to help with
the builds for the next week, after that it gets uncertain for a while.
Thanks for you offer, but I now have an all-dancing MSVC++6 environment,
so am reasonably self-sufficient in this regard.
Regards,
Rob.
