Is there any chance a branch could be created from some past release  
so that maintenance can be continued on something more stable (and  
that doesn't require a new tcl/tk version)?

It would be nice if all development didn't just march forward on the  
trunk with patch version numbers 23, 24, 25...  I mean, if the trunk  
represents the future of scid that's great, but surely this represents  
a 4.0 release with it's primary feature being a revamped UI, no?  The  
release engineering practices for scid are pretty much nonexistant.   
There is no release planning, or at least none that is communicated  
publicly, and no tags, no branches, nothing in the repository to  
assist with anything resembling release engineering.

In the mean time it would be nice if folks could get bug fixes and  
such for the version that is stable, no matter how old and unexciting  
it may be.  This would also allow more aggressive development on the  
trunk as there would be a vehicle for getting a working version to  
users in the mean time.  If people want to try out the new hotness,  
that's up to them.

Just wondering,

Garth
