That is, one doesn't want to be making a release so often that it becomes tedious. But at the same time the wait should be too long that it becomes a very big job to accomplish it. There has been enough added to 4.0 to maybe justify a 4.1 in the not to distant future. A good time for a release is when things stabilize and/or right before embarking on some new feature. Spring/early summer... then mid summer people work feverishly to try out their feature ideas. Dan |
