34 | <PRE>To answer the questions raised about the release of version 4.5.28: | |
35 | ||
36 | - There are a large number of people in the world who speak Dutch. Even if | |
37 | not a majority, I think it appropriate to provide them with a translation | |
38 | as soon as possible. | |
39 | ||
40 | - The release number (third part of the version number) is just that, a | |
41 | release number; all it indicates is the number of times I've released | |
42 | Services with the same major and minor version number. It doesn't | |
43 | necessarily indicate a significant change in the program--sometimes I | |
44 | make a new release just to fix typos--and, unless there's a critical bug | |
45 | that the new release fixes (in which case I'll make a special note in the | |
46 | release announcement), it doesn't mean you need to upgrade. At the | |
47 | moment, you can consider yourself up-to-date in terms of critical bug | |
48 | fixes if you're using version 4.5.26 or later. | |
49 | ||
50 | - I don't have any particular thresholds for releasing--no "fix X bugs | |
51 | between releases" or "don't release more than once every Y days". I | |
52 | release when I feel that people would find a new release useful. | |
53 | Sometimes that results in things like this release, which does nothing | |
54 | but add a language file. As mentioned above, if you don't feel like | |
55 | upgrading, then don't; it's that simple. | |
56 | ||
57 | - Version 5.0 is progressing, slowly but surely. I won't make any promises | |
58 | in terms of dates because it all depends on how much time I find to work | |
59 | on it, but if things go well I hope to have a beta version ready by the | |
60 | end of the year. For the curious, a unified context diff of 4.5.28 and | |
61 | the current 5.0 code base comes to 65,976 lines (2.1MB). | |
