We're kinda making this up as we go. With the proposed time-based release schedule we might drop the idea of Errata updates completely. Or we might tag along with so@ and do Errata for releases that seem "particularly good" so they last longer, etc. It's too soon to tell for sure where this is headed. So for now we'd like the info to be release-specific. Later we might decide that's a mistake and centralize it more. -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
