Re: High time to think about releasing 22.0

"Ten times" is a figure of speech, I don't know how to measure that. Try "not ready for prime time and no way is it going to be AFAICT." Show me; I'd love to have this stuff in. I'm really pleased with the way my branch is working for me, but I am not going to ask the Dev Team to support it, no way! It's just a sweet hack at the moment. IMO Eric's most recent patch is even less ready than my branch. I have no objection to saying the first thing we do after releasing 22.0 is integrate one of the Xft branches, and fast-track it to a release in 22.2. Or I'd be happy to roll 22.0+Xft releases from a branch the way Andy did the Windows code and Bill P did the GTK port. But at this point we have proof of concept, and no more. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
