Re: [Gramps-devel] lots of errors

Well, that is why the CVS version is the development version. This is
the version that is used to implement new features. Before a release is
made, every attempt is made to eliminate bugs. Without this "unstable"
version, progress really couldn't be made. If you look at the
disclaimers of a lot of other projects, they say the same thing.  For
example, Ximian's Evolution mail utility has the following disclaimer
for their snapshot builds from CVS:

This channel contains hourly builds of Evolution and associated
packages, directly from CVS. These packages are highly unstable, and may
be dangerous. If you have doubts about using these snapshots, please
install the latest Evolution Preview Release from the Evolution channel.

The 0.5.1 release seems to be pretty stable. I have had very few bug
reports, and none of them major. It seems to me, that while we've got a
solid release available, we can take a step back, and make new, major
feature additions that are needed.

Currently, I can open an existing database, create a new person, and
import an existing database (with a bug of not being able to append to
an existing database).

Are you getting tracebacks?
