One more note about release numbering, ideally no 0.x.y release should be in any way backwards incompatible.

Shorter release cycles should mean less work. I'd be all for a 0.16.1 shortly following a 0.16 (and a 0.16.2 not long after that). IMHO we've gone way to long (partially my fault) since 0.15.1. > I agree that we should wait for the patch that was started on for that bug, > bringing in new developers is the most important thing we can do and > satisfying users who don't live on trunk is less important than that. In your experience, how many people live on trunk? I think most people only upgrade to stable releases, and this is certainly what lives in the standard distributions/package repositories. Well, we don't want to release with the bug, and if that's the only thing, than I wouldn't want to wait too long on it before a release (though disabling the optimization and getting a proper fix in later is fine). I agree that encouraging and enabling new developers is very important (and in this particular case got the wrong impression that Mike wasn't looking at it). - Robert _______________________________________________ cython-devel mailing list cython-devel@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/cython-devel
