Re: [XBoard-devel] Next XBoard release

I say in that case, go for 4.9.  Don’t forget our Mac patches that Arun put in his branch.  We were waiting for you to take a look at them before putting them in master. A couple of them were from our discussion on the talkchess thread, and I wanted to make sure they weren’t forgotten.

There is also that bug in winboard/xboard that messed up setting up for non-chess games on your ics server?  Or was that an ics server bug?

Subject: [XBoard-devel] Next XBoard release

 

As I am a bit out of touch, and the v4.8.x branch has not been updated

for a very long time...

 

Would it still have any use to bring out a 4.8.1?

 

I remember having fixed lots of bugs in the master branch the past year,

but I don't remember exactly which. I have been using the development

version all the time, and the new features in there have been working OK

for me. As a consequence, I have more confidence in the master branch,

than in the latest v4.8.x, and certainly in a patched v4.8.x where I

would cherry-pick bugfixes from master without truly remembering what I

have been doing.

 

So wouldn't it be better to forget about v4.8.x, and release the master

branch as v4.9.0?
