Snapshot on Sourceforge

[James K. G. <jk...@sa...>]

I've been using version 4.1 since last summer for my regular work; it has a 
few bugs, but the added features since v.4.0 make it worthwhile.  Alas, due 
to our corporate firewall, I've depended upon some kind soul to download and 
tarball from the CVS and send it to me.

As the release of v.4.2 nears, it might now be appropriate to periodically 
make snapshot tarballs of the development version available on the 
sourceforge project website.  

I understand that time considerations may make this impossible, but if it 
could be done, it would be greatly appreciated.

We will do that if and when we actually decide to tackle the next 
release.  I don't see that actually happening right now.

Given the recent discussions on the list about what needs to be done for 
a 4.2 release, it seems that some are already thinking about it.

In any case, why not make tarballs available for the same reason Windows 
and OS/2 testing binaries are made available: for users who are unable 
to either check out or compile the source themselves.
