I hope this will appear over Wouldn't it possibly make more sense to call the next official development release version 3.9.0, working towards a stable version 4.0. The 20 pws releases are quite a substantial advance from 3.1.5 and it would make sense for this to be clearer in the version numbering. Also, I would have thought that the 3.1 advances over 3.0 are approaching being sufficient for the major version number change? I wasn't on the mailing lists before version 3 so don't really know how these things are normally decided or how much of a change to zsh previously warranted a major version number change so sorry if this is a stupid suggestion.

I haven't really decided, because I don't really know what the criteria for 3.1 still being a beta version was. If 3.1.6 is stable we should certainly think about a production release 3.2 or even 4.0. I don't think I want to change the sequence before that, however. The key seems to me to be testing the next version as widely as possible. For example, dynamical loading, which is a key feature, is reported not to work on SunOS 5.7, and it's quite possible --enable-lfs is doing something to --enable-zsh-mem, and so on. There weren't actually so many complaints about 3.1.5. -- Peter Stephenson <pws@ibmth.df.unipi.it> Tel: +39 050 844536 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Dipartimento di Fisica, Via Buonarroti 2, 56127 Pisa, Italy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Etc/MACHINES is compiled largely by rumour, so any changes, i.e. configurations which don't work or ones which do when the file said otherwise, are very helpful. -- Peter Stephenson <pws@ibmth.df.unipi.it> Tel: +39 050 844536 WWW: http://www.ifh.de/~pws/ Dipartimento di Fisica, Via Buonarroti 2, 56127 Pisa, Italy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
