These front page descriptions are likely to change from minute-to-minute, so perhaps they are not the best places to look for descriptions. >Fix: I suggest using the words of the Roadmap for the pkg-descr basis. In the Roadmap (httpL//www.mozilla.org/roadmap.html), the text related to the quarterly release cycle states: "...the once-per-quarter major release (e.g., 1.1) is the product-worthy branch-point." Clearly, a product-worthy release is *not* bleeding-edge. The current mozilla.org front page describes the 1.1 release as the "latest feature release" and also describes 1.0.1 as the "security and bugfix release". It also notes that all security fixes in 1.0.1 are also present in 1.1, so the 1.0.x release is really the "bugfix release". We need to distinguish 1.0.x releases as simply bugfix/security releases from 1.0.0, whereas 1.x releases are cumulative feature and bugfix and security releases. All of the comments about testing and bleeding edge need to be removed. It would really be a shame to have so many people miss out on the upcoming "Type Ahead Find" feature simply because they thought that the next quarterly release was somehow unstable or insecure. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
