> About the alpha1, did anybody actually install that? We have 12 downloads up to now... I run it ok, but I'm not sure anybody even tried install and working with it. I also tested it, and it runs better than a run with command line/source! e.g, check box option was not properly displayed when I ran SVN + command line (no difference on screen when enabled or not + no real focus cause of this display issue!). Now, I can see if options are checked or not! :) I already see some changes since alpha1 release. Should we plan an alpha2 release before end of year?

So the idea of only 4.1 stable is no longer correct. Current trunk can have major changes. A fixed release schema like gnome, ..., only makes sense if somebody wants to invest the time for it. I don't see that happening for the time being. Some guarantee on it not eating your data is needed :-) About the alpha1, did anybody actually install that? We have 12 downloads up to now... I run it ok, but I'm not sure anybody even tried install and working with it :-D Benny * 5 weeks/month sequence ? 4.0.0-alpha1 -> 4.0.0-alpha2 -> 4.0.0 beta1 -> 4.0.0 beta2 -> 4.0.0 -> 4.0.1-alpha1 -> 4.0.1-alpha2 -> 4.0.1 beta1 -> 4.0.1 beta2 -> 4.0.1 -> 4.0.99-alpha1 -> 4.0.99-alpha2 -> 4.0.99 beta1 -> 4.0.99 beta2 -> 4.0.99 -> 4.1.0-alpha1 -> 4.1.0-alpha2 -> 4.1.0 beta1 -> 4.1.0 beta2 -> 4.1.0 (new stable branch) ? Every weeks, to replace the last 'unstable' version with the next one, whatever changes under SVN! If not ready for the next stable release, we can extend with beta/RC versions. * official 4.0.0 (not only for testing) ? 4.0.0-alpha1 -> 4.0.0-alpha2 -> 4.0.0-alpha3 -> 4.0.0-beta1 -> 4.0.0-beta2 -> 4.0.0 RC1 -> 4.0.0 RC2 -> 4.0.0 (new stable branch) ? Only 4.0.0 will be the stable one, previous versions could be tested via the UNSTABLE section.

I made 'gramps-4.0.0-alpha1'... http://sourceforge.net/p/gramps/code/20811/tree/tags/ There was 'gramps-3.2.0-beta1/2' before. Also, after a release, should you not change in setup.py in branch gramps40 the version to 4.0.1? Or do we not do that. Does it mean that there is no need an '4.0.0-alpha2'? And '4.0.0-alpha1' is like a 4.0.0 release??? http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/roadmap_page.php?version_id=34 http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/changelog_page.php?version_id=34 As you want. For me 4.0.1 after this is ok, but 4.0.0-alpha2 or -beta1 is also good for me. You are release manager :-) That seemed easier than expected :-) Yes, we can easily put a '4.0.0-alpha2' release and replace '4.0.0-alpha1'!!! And/or to make it as official 'UNSTABLE' 4.0.0. Note, the changelog file generated from SVN was not added to '4.0.0-apha1' release... no problem Will you write on the announce mailing list, or me? I copied/pasted your text as NEWS on wiki and blog! :-[ http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Releases/4.0.0alpha1 http://gramps-project.org/2012/12/gramps-4-0-0-alpha1-released/ I can do the same on announce mailing list? Yes, this is good. Write to announce, gramps-devel and gramps-user, so as to attract extra testers.
