But please keep in mind that: - CVS may soon be replaced: I will restart the SCM discussion soon now that the release in over - CVS should host only bugfixes to the 0.99.x series, meaning no API changes over 0.99.0, no backward incompatibilities in configurations, no template changes, etc - all important newly added functionality must be made optional, e.g. via CFG_FOO_BAR config variables to switch it on or off, or via new database tables, etc - ... and all this so that we can have frequent releases of the 0.99.y series that people could simply drop in place of their older installed 0.99.x version and that their custom templates and etc configurations will continue to work out of the box. For rougher developments there is the "-dev" CVS repository (no branches please), and soon we shall possibly have a new SCM (with possibly good branching capabilities). To be continued soon...
