X.Y-RELEASE 2. bugfixes on X.Y-STABLE 3. half way between 2 releases X.Y-STABLE looks pretty good 4. announcement code freeze X.(Y+1)-RELEASE is coming 5. MFC all kinds of new features from -HEAD to -STABLE 6. A lot of mails about bugs and also fixes 7. X.(Y+1)-RELEASE 8. bugfixes on X.(Y+1)-STABLE 9. half way between 2 releases X.(Y+1)-STABLE is pretty good But in the end a mailinglist is a collection of problem reports and not a collection of success stories. For a lot of people it runs very well and you never here them. So I guess it all runs pretty well unless your system does not. Cheers, Ronald.
