Although it does look like we will be able to hold to a quarterly release schedule, it is really doubtful we have enough resources to issue point releases.
I'm not really up to speed on the release process, but it seems to me getting a point release out should be significantly easier than a major release. What's the real difference between what you've outlined below and providing a point release? We'd still need to branch off the release, and we'd still need to run tests to make sure no broken fixes go out, don't we?
I believe test resources are the bottleneck here.
It that's the case then that problem won't go away by releasing patches rather than point releases; they still need testing. -- Daniel Wallin BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
