I must have missed the announcement that installers for
1.8.0 are available for download now.
Hi Charlie and all,
no such announcement has been made (ok perhaps one in that SourceForge
automatically tells registered users when files have been uploaded), I
am sure it is imminent. Sometimes it is like guarding a sweetshop from
unruly children around here ;)
As for the version naming, we have not got around to bumping the version
on the development branch, it's nothing to worry about, in fact it will
help to encourage beta testers to focus on the upcoming release
candidate. I am always amazed at how much credence people will attribute
to a label written by a human. The release candidate (RC) is what will
need expanded testing. It, or a successor, will become the next official
general availability release (GA), once any final critical defects are
resolved. Release candidates and GA releases are cut from a separate
copy of the source code which is branched from the development source
code, this allows us to get on with potentially disruptive changes in
the development source code while managing the release from the now
hopefully much more stable release branch.
