Re: [Openfoam-extend-general] The patch-branch and the git-branch

[Håkan N. <ha...@ch...>]

Hi,

I agree with Martin.

I have the patch version installed.
I had no problems with it.
I can't use the git version at the moment.
I think that since the git version adds new features (and bugs), it should 
be considered as an experimental state of the code. There is also a need 
for a code that is only bug-fixed, and hopefully becoming more and more 
stable.

So, I hope that you are willing to continue with the patched version for a 
while.

At least it would be good to maintain a list of bug fixes, and where to 
find the updated code.

Håkan.
