Re: [Aprsd-devel] aprsd

To add to what Hamish has already said,

The RELEASE version 2.1.4 is available on the sourceforge site as a tar
ball. I think it is parallel to the 2.1.4.vk3sb.2 release - but I don't
know for sure.

The 2.1.4 tarball on sourceforge does NOT include the latest updates,
changes and features of the CVS version. 

In most projects, the CVS version is considered the 'development'
version - subject to the occasional unexpected feature (bug). The
release version is considered more 'stable' and more 'bug free'.
Normally it's recommended that "production" work not be done with a
development version and only the 'brave at heart' use the devel version
since it is more likely to contain bugs. Those are 'generic' ideas that
may well not apply to the unique development track of aprsd to this
point though!

Maybe it's time to take a snapshot of the CVS version, tarball it and
'release' an updated version on the aprsd page of sourceforge.

Just a SWAG, but along with a 'new release' announcement, I'd bet we'd
see a flood of servers updated. Could well be a very good thing on many
fronts.
