When Jordan changed the point numbering scheme, I thought it was to cover exactly the "we've got a bunch of bug fixes" event. That is, my understanding is that 3.1.1 (and maybe even a 3.1.2?) would be used for releases that had either a lot of simple bugs fixed, or maybe even one =very= bad bug fixed. Then 3.2 would be used for the regular 3-or-4-times-a-year releases that (we'd hope) contained improved functionality. So, my vote (assuming I've got one) would be for a 3.1.1-RELEASE now. There's no reason to force newbies just installing to have to seek out all the fixes we've already got. On the other hand (I'm a Libra, you know), I have sympathy for the folks who worry their subscriptions are gonna get expensive if we keep this up. So, a further proposal. We cut CDs only for those releases that bump the first or second digit. 3.1.1 now. 3.2 with CDs in May. > > Rich -crl -- Chad R.
