Re: [Bug-apl] Creating a new release

[Juergen Sauermann]

Hi Blake, all,

thanks. I am almost ready with the GNU APL 1.4 release.

I have updated the latest SVN 420 to be a pre-1.4 release.
Please have a look if it builds and installs on your platforms.

SVN 420 is not yet the official 1.4 GNU package, so build errors can still be fixed
before the official package is pushed to ftp.gnu.org/gnu/apl/

Greetings,

Just a thought - it seems that Juergen is trying to create a new release of GNU APL.  I think this is very important given the vast and critical improvements since the last release.  i.e. people who just download the last release rather than build from SVN are trying something that has way too many problems.  They may leave new users of GNU APL with the wrong impression.

I think it is to all our advantages to get a good release out.  To this end, I propose we table many of the current discussions and focus only on issues necessary for the new release.  Once the release is out, we can re-visit all of these other great ideas.  Coming together to get the new release out is important.

Just a respectful opinion.

Thanks.

Blake
