Re: [ww-tedit-dev] Current stable version branch

[Tzvetan Mikov]

Well, to be honest I was thinking that you should make the tag and branch :-) I have several motivations for this:
- Although I do have commit access, I've hardly ever used it and I think such organizational changes to the CVS should as a rule be done by the primary developer. Then there are details like naming of the tag and the branch, etc.
- I am not extremely comfortable with CVS - I might screw something up. 

About the numpad fix: perhaps it should go into the "patches" section in the project page ?

This gives me another idea of how to organize the work. Instead of making a branch right-away, all changes can be kept as patches against a specific tag (there should always be a tag after a release). Then, if enough patches accumulate, or we decide that they are too important, or that the next release is too far away, we make a branch and apply them. WHat do you think ?

The most recent build is not explicitly tagged. The most of the main
line is what I used for the last release in February. Please tag the
current version line before branching.

The version is 0.2.3, the build number is what changes.

I welcome any fixes on branches or patches. We can have a patch set that
could be maintained until I'm ready with the display refactoring. BTW,
I'm done with the refactoring and now I'm working on the actual
implementation of the display module.

I can send you the fix for the numpad's insert and del keys which I did
impromptu a few days ago.
