[ jEdit-users ] Regessive bugs and 4.3final.

[Alan E. <ala...@gm...>]

Sun had a special way of prioritizing bugs during the beta process of
1.6. The "regressive" bugs, are those which were introduced in the
development version that did not exist in the previous stable (1.5)
release.

I think we should categorize bugs similarly. We can't offer free
t-shirts to people who submit their bugs, but Sun didn't even give me
mine when I reported one, so at least *we* won't make false
promises...

Any bug that was introduced in the 4.3preX branch that did not exist
in 4.2final should be marked as a "regressive bug" (see the new group
in the Jedit bugs tracker), so we can handle them with a different
priority. Knowing how many of those bugs are in the product will help
us decide how far we are from releasing 4.3final.
