Re: [glob2-devel] The next release

I feel that right now a lot of development takes place and this is the
worst time for a feature freeze.  If you must, make a release candidate
branch.  But I think Leo is fine tuning his changes, so it is not the time
to freeze anything.

I don't understand the 8 either.
The version number scheme Steph proposed looks better.
And since we don't develope so fast that we get to glob2-100 in the next
years (or ever), it would be perfect for glob2.  Especially since we
have a major number (2) already in our name.
If this version numbering does not fit our project, than it doesn't
fit any other project.  It looks like it is made for us.

Stop!  No! First at least let Leo improve his work.
Then let us test one or two weeks before releasing.
This is obligatory!
