Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] Consider this

[Dave Hall]

Hi Sigurd,

First let me make it clear this is not a decision I can make by myself,
it needs to be discussed and decided upon by the CT, taking into account
the views of the community.

There have been many reasons for this delay, but things are now moving
along.

The policy is simple no new features in stable.  We are planing to
release 0.9.16.100 in June which will be 16 with bug fixes and several
new apps or backports from head.

I don't support this.  16 is 14++, HEAD is patched 16 with some new
features being added.  There has already been some changes in HEAD which
are not compatible with 16.

I understand the reason for it, but the policy is long standing.

I would suggest that you include property (with the XSLT patch) in
0.9.16.100 as one of the many "extra app" tarballs that will form part
of the release.

Cheers
