Thanks for asking. My $0.02: Not much. Ideally, I'd expect two and no more than three releases per year. Rahul Desi makes some very good points about having a quality product to deliver that can stand on its own for _at least_ six months before the next release. A number of things have been fixed since the release. So what. All that tells me is that 3.1 was released before it was ready. Is this next release you're talking about going to be a freebie like the 2.1.7 release? I've canceled prior cdrom subscriptions because the releases were coming far too often. It amounts to an abuse of the privilege of having my credit card number on file with Walnut Creek CDROM when a release is only good for a month and a half before the next one is on its way. Take all the fixes accumulated thus far, put 'em together with whatever wizardry and heavy magic that's being conjured currently and stamp out the new release 'round about mid-July.
