State of the CVS Address

June 1st, 2003 - 12:27PM PST

Hey everyone. ChipX86 here. We've had a lot of questions about this, so I'm going to address it here. At the moment, CVS is undergoing some major changes. We are advising our users not to use CVS, and to go back to stable releases. The developers have a direction we're heading in, and bug reports against CVS only slow us down. Once things stabilize, it shouldn't be as much of a problem (but we still request that you only use CVS if you're developing against it or helping us to debug it!) We'll have a few new goodies in 0.65, and our work is leading the way to the completion of our core/UI split, so be patient ;)

Also, I would like to announce a little experiment that gaim is taking part in, along with picogui, Gnome, GNUpdate, autopackage, and a few other projects. If you join #commits on irc.freenode.net, you'll be able to watch CVS commits as they happen on a variety of projects. Check it out. It's just.. neat.
