But making an official release gives everyone a lot more than just some possibly working code. With a release the developers reach some kind of agreement that the code is in a usable state, and when people start to use it, those developers can know with a certain level of confidence what code is actually being used. I've worked against both official releases and CVS snapshots of Webware, but you can only make reasonable guarantees of compatibility with the releases - it's hard to even replicate an ad-hoc CVS snapshot, let alone support it. Paul P.S. Looking at the various changes made since 0.8.1, I'd recommend 0.9 as opposed to 0.8.2 as the version number. P.P.S. I like the new site design, by the way. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
