I care about the binary distribution.                MJ> I want a proper release distribution, with documentation and        MJ> installer. That is what the people who sold GoldED had.               RM> And I want world peace!              No you do not.              You are just expressing a desire about something that you actually will do       nothing about.               RM> In the meantime I think it is REALLY better if you stick with your        RM> ancient package. Better for you, better for us.              No you do not.               You are pretending to suggest that it is better for me to use an old version       because you hope bugs in it will irreparably corrupt my message bases and       cause permanent data loss or other bad things to happen.                MJ> Somebody in charge has to say "This is the current stable release".               RM> here you are:        RM> https://github.com/golded-plus/golded-plus/releases              I suppose that is better than nothing.               RM> But the snapshots are as stable as the stable release.        RM> That is why most of us use the current snapshot.              Who said the snapshots are as stable as the release ? If that was the case,       then it would be the latest release.               The chronic displacement of releases by snapshots is evidence that the       maintainers have no confidence in their work.              ___ Blue Wave/386 v2.30       --- SBBSecho 3.13-Linux        * Origin: Vertrauen - [vert/cvs/bbs].synchro.net (1:103/705)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016       SEEN-BY: 129/305 154/10 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1016 1017 240/77 2100 5138 5411 5824       SEEN-BY: 240/5832 5853 6309 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 5555 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 103/705 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
