34 | <PRE>>><i> Speaking of 4.5.0, is there anywhere the masses can d/l this while it's | |
35 | </I>>><i> being worked on? Is there a CVS anywhere? | |
36 | </I>><i> | |
37 | </I>><i>I don't know about Andy, but I was reluctant to allow the general world to | |
38 | </I>><i>use under development source due to the number of unhelpfull bug reports I | |
39 | </I>><i>was getting. People did not seem to get the fact that the source was VERY | |
40 | </I>><i>alpha and as such didn't do many of the things it should - like saving | |
41 | </I>><i>databases or working properly. As things get closer to a final release it | |
42 | </I>><i>becomes easier to release it as beta code. 4.5 was getting very close to | |
43 | </I>><i>that stage when I last worked on it. However, Andy has to pick up where I | |
44 | </I>><i>left off, which means that it will probably be longer until it gets | |
45 | </I>><i>released. | |
46 | </I>><i> | |
47 | </I>><i>I hope this makes it clearer as to why the source was not released to the | |
48 | </I>><i>public. | |
49 | </I> | |
50 | Just for the record, this is more or less my reasoning as well, though | |
51 | for me it's simply that I _know_ the code won't work right and I don't need | |
52 | dozens or hundreds of E-mails telling me that. I plan to do like I did with | |
53 | previous versions: when 4.5.0-to-be is more or less stable, I'll release | |
54 | "pre-versions" (4.5pre0, 4.5pre1 etc.) for people to play with. | |
55 | ||
56 | P.S. I'll get to the channel suspension stuff later--I have a bit of a | |
57 | mail backlog to work through. | |
