Erik, All,
At this point in the release cycle, its beneficial to the development team
to test the installation, as well as new features, on as many instances as
possible. Bill created installers for most, if not all, the supported
distributions. We should be testing that release, and providing feedback of
our observations. The revision numbers mean very little to end users at at
present. As for laymen terms, it gets complicated "real quick", so there's
not much point in hashing through that.
Continuing to build from the development branch will only slow things down.
I can't say for certain, however, based on previous release cycles there
will be one or more additional RC's before the final release.
Unless something dramatic happens, there won't be any major changes made
that warrants dev-branch builds for the masses. What is most needed now is
hammering out the proposed release code. If something major crops up, they
can always post another RC.
The more testing we do on the RC revision will only help to ensure a
trouble free product later down the line. Unless your one of the core
developers, or a distribution package maintainers, building from source
code is not the best approach.
I am running the revision Bill posted for Windows. Installation went
without issue, and seems to be running as expected. That
revision-(1.8.0-RC1)-is what we need to be testing.
