RE: [Htmlunit-user] HtmlUnit 1.4 released

[Erskine, C. <chr...@ed...>]

What is happening is that you are creating a release.  With the work that is
going into HtmlUnit, it is growing organically rather than by a planned
model where I will state that this version has these features planned for
it.  As such, I do not feel that it really make sense having pre releases or
release candidates like you see for some other systems.

There are also several projects that are taking new versions from the source
tree since that is where the changes are being added to fix their problems.
As such, it works better to have more often release which are bug fixes and
marked as true releases rather than the semi-releases that you see for major
changes.
