4.3 is quite stable, but Scid's git repository is *not* stable... It has a 
couple
of nice new features with non-trivial bugs, meaning a new release is not
practicle until/if they are fixed. Fulvio has added some interesting new code
for the best games widget which should probably be used to rewrite the
gamelist too before the next release *but this is a biggish task*. Gerds
new filter cache has lots of bugs, and AFAIK he does not even have git commit 
privilidges.

Scid vs. PC surely has very few bugs now as i'm still working on it every other 
day
for the last few years. My early efforts were a bit raw, but latest release is 
very solid.


Since 4.8, it has a new Move Search feature and a better Twin Games Checker 

(which highlights missing comments and variations in duplicate games).4.8 had a 
bug that checking moves can't be added to the mask,
but i have fixed this in svn and also fixed the tree "Fill cache with 
game/base" feature ,
which is broken in both Scids since Fulvio's great interruptible tree feature 
got added.

I *am* interested in the state of mainline Scid (i appreciate the popularity of 
dockable
windows), but am not interested in debugging Fulvio and Gerds code. It is tough 
work, and 

something they should really be doing - or a new dev. Pascal cared about bugs
but he has not responded in years.


I've recently tried to contact Alex, Pascal and Joost to add me as a dev, but 
received no reply.
Perhaps they just ignore me which is fair enough, or perhaps they have switched 
off.
They have been very quiet for a while now.

Sorry to be so morose :), but I'd like some of the devs to propose how the bugs 
in svn will ever get fixed.
