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