I would say that once the renaming has been completed, it would be enough to justify a 3.08 release. But that's my vote.

But that's my vote. From my personal view, 3.07 had a number of minor, but annoying issues that are currently fixed in CVS. Also, the current CVS version seems to work fine on AMD Opterons we have, while 3.07 had some issues. Finally, a recent CVS version of OCaml works fine for our project _without any additional patches_ - this have not been the case for any released version of OCaml for a very long time! So yeah, I will also be pretty happy to see 3.08 released soon. -- Aleksey Nogin Home Page: http://nogin.org/ E-Mail: nogin@cs.caltech.edu (office), aleksey@nogin.org (personal) Office: Jorgensen 70, tel: (626) 395-2907 ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

We are stuck. I don't know what you consider a long time, but so far the interval is considerably shorter than that between 3.06 and 3.07. Now, it may be that the pace of OCaml development is slow. Maybe it would be better for the community if the development process were structured differently, to involve more people and perhaps speed things up a bit. But for better or worse, the language core is under the control of a government research institute, which sees fit to have the work done by a small group of dedicated (and, I'm sure, very busy) developers. If you have suggestions about how to improve the process, I'm sure they will be welcome. But you seem: a) to have suddenly joined the list out of nowhere (if I'm mistaken, I apologize. But I've been on this list about a year, and can't recall seeing any posts from you before). b) to be *demanding* a new version of a very nice product that you get for free. This doesn't help anyone, and could be considered annoying. -- Matt Gushee When a nation follows the Way, Englewood, Colorado, USA Horses bear manure through mgushee@havenrock.com its fields; http://www.havenrock.com/ When a nation ignores the Way, Horses bear soldiers through its streets. --Lao Tzu (Peter Merel, trans.) ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

And naturally : c) posting anonymously without giving any hint of knowing anything about the ocaml community and release schedule.
