tmda-cgi is a actually separate project from TMDA with different authors, different maintainers, etc. For convenience, it shares some resources like the Subversion repository and release server, but that could change at any time. > I'm thinking that since TMDA is working very well and is very stable, > several of the current updates might be combined, and TMDA updates > released less frequently. I suppose this is a philosophical question, as to whether you prefer the cathedral or the bazaar model of software development. I've personally had better luck with the bazaar, and tend to subscribe to the 'release early, release often' mantra. > It would seem to me that the current updates aren't critical and > could probably have waited a bit until 0.15 of TMDA-CGI is > officially released. As you say, TMDA is very stable, and so the need to upgrade isn't urgent. So is it really a problem if you have to wait a few days while tmda-cgi is released before you can upgrade? Many, even most TMDA users probably do not even use tmda-cgi anyway. FWIW, the changes between TMDA 1.1.7 and 1.1.8 are more significant than perhaps my release announcement implied. Two major underlying libraries were changed, the email lib in particular is what drives all the parsing, processing, formatting, etc of email in TMDA. Upgrading from v2.5.5 to v4.0.1 represented several years of changes by the Python team. Some of the modules were completely rewritten even. I felt it was important to get this new code out and in use. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list (tmda-users@tmda.net) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
